I just installed inkscape 0.92 on a CentOS7 machine. The rpm was installed from the base CentOS repo.

I'm getting the following error when I invoke inkscape from the command line:

inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/../lib/inkscape/libinkscape_base.so: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib7ustringC1EOS0_

Any help would be appreciated.

If I run ldd on the inkscape binary it doesn't show anything as missing:

I have no idea here. Can you rather make a bug report about this at https://inkscape.org/report ?
