Bug Description

The error message for an unsuccessful configure states "libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc". Instead we find gc here: http://www.hboehm.info/gc/

1) Confirmed for the current stable release branch <lp:inkscape/0.48.x>:
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/RELEASE_0_48_BRANCH/view/10043/configure.ac#L257>

2) Not confirmed with current trunk lp:inkscape and with the release branch lp:inkscape/0.91.x for upcoming Inkscape 0.91: The homepage URL is no longer present in configure.ac at all. The configure.ac section for gc had been rewritten in r12155 to use pkg-config instead (along with other module checks):
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/12155>

Current module check:
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/view/13658/configure.ac#L691>

Proposing to close as 'Won't fix': there are no further bug-fix releases planned for the 0.48.x series (current 0.48.5 being the last one).

I guess we can consider this 'fixed' by way of the URL no longer existing.

Changed in inkscape:
status: New → Fix Released
milestone: none → 0.91
