That's because SuSE uses a different name for the package than other 
systems plus the SuSE gtk packages are very old. I suggest that you 
upgrade to 9.3.

Thanks for the quick response. I plan on upgrading to 9.3 as soon as I get a 
new disk drive and DVD Reader. My desktop is 5 years old but still performs 
good.

That's the problem ;-) If you feel adventurous and in the mood to spend 
a weekend, you can try to install "apt for suse" (google for it). Then, 
you can upgrade Gtk and a lot of other plus inkscape just by doing "apt 
install inkscape".

If you upgrade to 9.3, Inkscape 0.41 is already included, though.

I recieved this response to my question earlier this month and in checking I 
find YAST calls the package GTK2. Is it possible I need some of the 
additioanla packages installed like the GTK2-devel and GTK2-Spell?

You can find that out yourself if you give the command

  ldd /usr/bin/inkscape

or the place where SuSE installs if not in /usr/bin.
If you get any 'not found' then you miss something.
Can you mail me the output, perhaps one can see from
it if you have everything.

Thanks for the response. I found the problem and I guess I should wait until I 
upgrade to 9.3. I have GTK2-2.2.4-125.4 and Inkscape requires 2.4.0 or 
greater. There is a 2.4 version availble for SuSE 9.2 but it may mess up 
other applications if I install it. I'm planning on going to 9.3 as soon as I 
get everything ready.

Thanks again for your help.
