I tried the package Inkscape-0.42+0.43pre3-1.dmg on a MacOSX machine with OSX 10.3.9 and X11 installed from the OSX Cdrom.
Sad, but it doesn't launch. When I try to use the command line, then I see that the binary is missing a dynamic library (libXinerama.1.dyn) which seems not to be included in the apple X11 distribution. Any ideas?
Rasca,
It seems this is actually a problem with Apple's X11. The version for 10.4 includes and introduces the dependency on libXinerama.dylib. The version for 10.3 does not include this library. This problem has also been noticed by users of Gimp.app since the latest versions have been built on a 10.4 machine. Ideally, Apple would release an updated version of X11 for 10.3 users.
Several people have addressed this problem by taking the libXinerama.dylib from a Tiger machine and adding it and relevant symlinks to their X11 lib directory. Thus, it may be enough for us to add this library to our app bundle. I will try this and test it on a 10.3.9 machine tomorrow. I'll let you know how I go.
Cheers, Michael
