and fedora 1 always coming against a lack of gtk+ even after updating. 

Have you emailed the inkscape people yet?

Why not switch to Debian and be done with all this malarkey? You seem to have 
tried everything else!

# apt-get install inkscape

It has a long list of dependencies (although not as long as GnuCash):

Compiling that from source isn't a task for someone who doesn't have the basic 
tools at hand.

Just tried installing the source code on fedora the last few lines are give
below

checking for GC_malloc in -lgc... no
configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector), is needed to

Description: Conservative garbage collector for C and C++
Boehm's GC is a garbage collecting storage allocator that is
intended to be used as a plug-in replacement for C's malloc.

Your system is not currently capable of compiling (almost anything) from 
source because you haven't installed fundamental parts of the compiler. 
Without malloc() or GC, the program would be unable to allocate any RAM to 
the process. Not surprisingly, the code complains.

compile inkscape [aaron@xxxxxxx inkscape-0.40]$

Everything else looks ok.
What am I doing wrong?

Keep installing those packages that are declared as lacking in the configure 
error sequence until you get no more errors.
:-)

Or switch to a distro that does ALL this for you: GNU/Linux Debian.
