Not sure if this is the right way to do it as it is a bit brute force, but you can change the location that inkscape looks for the libs using install_name_tool.

for example it is looking for the cairo lib in your macports install location, the following command will change the location to the Resources/lib/ directory in the .app bundle.

install_name_tool -change /opt/local/lib/libcairomm-1.0.1.dylib @executable_path/../Resources/lib/libcairomm-1.0.1.dylib Inkscape

presumably you could write a script to handle this, but it seems like this issue should already be handled as the the process of bundling and linking the libs is used for the x11 based distributions.

mmmh, all libs are there i think but maybe this was handled in the launcher
or something and I missed it ... could reproduce the error though, when I
move my macports dir. sorry, I should have tested against this again after
such changes, I will look into this tonight.

I get a crash directly on launch.

here is the output:

Referenced from:

Reason: image not found

I then ran otool -L and saw that this executable is looking for several
macports dylibs (/opt/local/lib/...), so it seems that things haven't been
packaged quite right.

Thanks for your efforts,
Jamie

Hey, my newest build is now available here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/184307760/Inkscape.dmg
It's bigger than the previous ones cause this time I included all the
python
stuff. I also ditched the launcher. Because the launcher install script
also
compiled/installed the clearlooks theme, the theme is not included for
now.
But this should be easy to re-add.
I'm not really sure if this fixes anything, but I'd like everyone who can
to
try it, and maybe post the error logs.
Thanks.
