Comment 5 for bug 1012442

I've bumped the cairomm dependency to 1.9.8 in lp:inkscape r11517. I guess this means that this bug should be closed as "Won't fix", because we no longer support builds with earlier cairomm versions. Hopefully now, the configure script will explain the missing dependency rather than allowing a broken build to proceed.

As Cafuego pointed out, this can be fixed in Lucid by backporting cairomm 1.9.8 from Natty.
