Folks: I'd like to try Inkscape (oss version if Illustrator) on my RedHat 9 machine, but the rpm bails out with "Need gtk 2"; I wonder how many things will break if I try to install gtk2 ( I also wonder how many things will have to go on before the tool kit will install. Does anybody have experience with this particular upgrade; I'm sure many have been through rpm hell of one sort or another...

You should be fine with just the gtk2 libs.

You'll have a much easier time using newer software like this if you just upgrade to Fedora Core 3 or 4 instead of trying to patch a two year old distro into being more mainstream.
