Cool.  Sounds like all the problems have been fixed by build 44.

I was able to get it to build with only a few modifications as outlined in:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1516476&group_id=93438&atid=604306

I had to build the following dependencies which aren't shiipped with Solaris:

    lcms-1.15
    libsigc++-2.0.17
    glibmm-2.8.9
    gtkmm-2.8.8
    gc6.7

Apart from the <glib-object.h> workaround (no longer needed), and the
fixes documented in the inkscape bug, there wasn't anything else to
do (using gcc and gmake, not Sun Studio).   It was kind of annoying
to have to #define __C99FEATURES__ manually (see inkscape bug).
Does anyone know if this is a Solaris header problem, or g++ bug?
Basically, isfinite() isn't defined for C++ because the c99 feature
flag isn't set.  But specifying '-std=c99' isn't allowed for g++.  Sigh.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to get it part of the SVN
repository - it's a really nice app to have.
