I spent the last hours of my life trying to compile pre1 manually (which needs -dev packages of ~500MB!), searching for a PPA that had pre1, trying to fulfill the prepackaged Karmic pre1 dependancies ... A nicely wrapped up pre1-deb for Jaunty is highly needed! Could someone with a sufficiant amount of knowledge provide such a package for us? It will be greatly appreciated!

Ufuk writes: It is not that hard to compile Inkscape from svn. I recently did another one. First get all dependencies: sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev Then download the recent svn from http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/?M=D And extract it, then cd into the extracted folder (named like inkscape-XXXXXX): ./configure --prefix=/home/yourname/Inkscape #just define a directory) make make install "make" process may take 30-60 minutes depending your computer. Then you can make a shotcut for you Inkscape Development Version which is install in a directory you specified in configure command. I think there will be another prerelease(s) soon.
