Hi there,
Im trying to get the native (non-X11) inkscape version working. I first tried the version from macports. However, it crashed about half of the time when I wanted to open an SVG file.
I then tried to compile it manually following the instructions on the inkscape wiki http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX. The section where it says "Building Aqua from scratch, 2010".
Unfortunately, I get the very same error. More or less every second time I open a SVG file inkscape crashes. See the console output and the crash report below. I only postet the part of the crash report which looked relevant to me. If you need more detailed logs, let me know.
The X11 version runs fine, by the way. Except that there are other bugs making copy & paste unusable.
cheers, Janosch
