          Here is a rather boring solution.

          Any better solution is warmly welcome! :-)



          Compile from source code, excluding pstoedit because otherwise compilation fails:



          sudo apt install intltool imagemagick libmagickcore-dev pstoedit
          git clone git@github.com:autotrace/autotrace.git
          cd autotrace
          ./autogen.sh
          ./configure
          make
          sudo make install


          Running it fails miserably:



          autotrace: error while loading shared libraries: libautotrace.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


          But this works:



          LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib autotrace -v
          AutoTrace version 0.40.0.


          In order to make other software (such as Inkscape) find it, I had to do the following:



          cd /usr/lib
          sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libautotrace.a libautotrace.a
          sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libautotrace.la libautotrace.la
          sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libautotrace.so libautotrace.so
          sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libautotrace.so.3 libautotrace.so.3
          sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libautotrace.so.3.0.0 libautotrace.so.3.0.0
