Can't Install Inkscape

Can't Install Inkscape

I tried to install several packages older ones too.Tried to upgrade it from terminal,to compile it.Once I did it and wait it for long time,but at the end of instalation it showed me 2 errors.When I'm trying to run it from terminal with sudo inkscape I'm getting this message.

inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to download inkscape with synaptic and ubuntu center too.Inkscape is awesome graphic tool,but I don't see how I could make it to work on Ubuntu 11.10.Thanx in advance.

Please try this and see if it fixes your problem

Also, please don't run the inkscape command with sudo :)
