Using a linux distribution with an intelligent package/dependencies handling system such as Gentoo or Debian would end your updating woes for all time. In debian testing
apt-get install inkscape
urpmq,urpmi, etc under Mandrake10.1
downloads and installs inkscape 0.41 and updates all dependencies automatically and in Gentoo
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -ua inkscape
downloads the source of inkscape 0.41 and all required dependencies and compiles them (taking a lot of time of course). Without going to the testing distribution ("~x86") you get 0.37
almost the same for mandrake 10.1 (0.39 for 10.1 ) (I don't like rc,community version , beta etc distro.) luigi
