Commenting out that line (<check> tag) allows the extension to load on linux (Ubuntu 10.04).

As noted above a quick search only turns up 2 extensions using that tag:

/opt/inkscape-0.48/share/inkscape/extensions$ grep -RHin "<check" .
./txt2svg.inx:15: <check reldir="extensions">txt2svg.pl</check>
./outline2svg.inx:15: <check reldir="extensions">outline2svg.pl</check>

The second extension - outline2svg - also does not load unless the <check> tag is commented out. Again nothing in the extension-errors log for that one either.

So - there are two issues: 1. the ubuntu package needs a dependency on libsvg-perl, and 2. something is not working correctly in Inkscape's handling of the <check> tag.

IMO this bug would be fixed by addressing #1 and a separate bug should be opened against Inkscape for #2.
