I'm fully aware of that.

Since the comments section in this report is now so long, I hesitate to add further noise about a detail I recall when testing a branch of Jabiertxof (the initial implementation of the Measure LPE), where inkscape locally immediately crashes when adding the Measure path effect unless I explicitly launch it with LC_ALL=C (which I do not like, and which I think is wrong). IIRC it also has to do with the usage of std::locale(), and produces the same error as you describe in comment 27:

(inkscape:52522): glibmm-ERROR **:
unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

The issue was never further investigated because that branch was merged into trunk later at a time where I no longer could compile it locally (due to C++11 requirement).
