There is no Debian Wheezy build of latest (0.91) stable version of Inkscape (https://inkscape.org/en/download/linux/). So i can't use Apt. I have try to obtain source code using Bazaar. First I install bzr:

apt-get install bzr

Then I use command 

bzr branch lp:inkscape

And I have got ~400mb of files. But I can't find any ./configure files, and make command doesn't work.

Is it possible to have Inkscape 0.91 on Debian 7. And what is the easiest way?

    There is a Debian build of the latest Inkspace; it's in `testing`. See https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/inkscape for version information. – saiarcot895 Jul 08 '15 at 18:34
  • note that `lp:inkscape` points to the development branch that will become 0.92. It is not stable 0.91. You can use the `autogen.sh` script in the top level directory of the inkscape source to generate `configure`. – casey Jul 08 '15 at 19:09
  • @saiarcot895 It works! I have some errors during install process (for example on `fontconfig`), however for my scenario of converting svg to png it works. Thank you! – vatavale Jul 08 '15 at 19:27
  • @vatavale: Unless there have been some new features related to exporting to PNG in 0.88+, that feature has been in Inkscape for a while. – saiarcot895 Jul 08 '15 at 20:25
  • @saiarcot895 In 0.43 I couldn't export SVG with tags inside. Looks like it just ignored. – vatavale Jul 09 '15 at 14:19
  • @vatavale: Ah, ok. Also, I didn't know Inkscape had that big of a version bump. – saiarcot895 Jul 09 '15 at 15:27
