First install the build dependencies, you can do this simply by asking apt for the dependencies, first you need to make sure the source code section of software sources is set up:

Then you want to pull the source, in this case we don' t need the entire history for the project so we'll just do a lightweight checkout, this can still take a while:
Then we need to cd into the directory and build it
This will build Inkscape and install it into
/usr/local/bin/inkscape
by default.
