Please could you tell us the version of libsigc++ on your system?

Likely a duplicate of
- Bug #1362545 “Inkscape-trunk and libsigc++ 2.3.2”
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1362545

Bug #1362545 was actually an upstream regression in an earlier unstable release of libsigc++ (2.3.2), which was fixed in the current stable release 2.4.0.

[rob (hankin-robin)]

hello Alex, thanks for this. I'm not a power user.

As far as I can tell, it is version 2.0:

rksh@paua:/usr/local/lib$ pwd
/usr/local/lib
rksh@paua:/usr/local/lib$ ls -l libsig*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 956 Sep 18 20:17 libsigc-2.0.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 18 20:17 libsigc-2.0.so ->
libsigc-2.0.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 18 20:17 libsigc-2.0.so.0 ->
libsigc-2.0.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 140382 Sep 18 20:17 libsigc-2.0.so.0.0.0
rksh@paua:/usr/local/lib$

cheers! HTH

Check the version string in '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/sigc++-2.0.pc', or try the command
$ pkg-config --modversion sigc++-2.0

[rob (hankin-robin)]

Hello again Alex, sorry for the delay, here is the output from pkg-config:

rksh@paua:~$ pkg-config --modversion sigc++-2.0
2.3.2

You have an outdated unstable libsigc++ version installed in '/usr/local' which has a known bug triggering the build failure of inkscape, as tracked in bug #1362545 (“Inkscape-trunk and libsigc++ 2.3.2”) - see also comment #2.

Proposing to link as duplicate to bug #1362545.

As of Inkscape 0.92, CMake is used as the default build system. autotools builds have been removed in all subsequent releases.
