I need some time to understand details of your writing, including:
... with a host of new questions I'd rather not go into for now.
Thank you anyway, you are so polite
Instead:
- I even downloaded versions like "Inkscape-0.48.1-1-LEOPARD+" and
all regressions to 0.47 does not work, so I guess I missed up my system but I do not know how.
IMHO it would serve you most if this mystery got solved: the binary packages for 0.47 and 0.48 provided by the Inkscape project usually work fine on Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard - with one issue known to prevent launching 0.48 on some systems due to issues with parsing installed color profiles for the monitor.
Please try these steps:
- login with a different (or new) user account (or use the guest
account) 2) download Inkscape 0.48.1 (LEOPARD+) from the official download site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48.1/ 3) install Inkscape for the current user (drag the app icon from the DMG to the desktop or the user's Application folder) 4) launch the newly installed Inkscape application
If Inkscape fails to launch, please describe what happens (does it hang, fail to find X11, crash?), and in case it crashes, please attach the crash report (the crash reports gets created by the system for the binary 'inkscape-bin' in '~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter' - please check the date and time stamp in the file name and choose the most recent relevant one).
If Inkscape launches just fine for other users (Note: the initial run will take some time until all font caching information has been created), the problem is with the configuration of your usual user account.

BRILLIANT idea ! So I have followed exactly step 1-4 as a new user and it works!
I have launched exactly the same file from within my account and it crashes, just after launching.
In '~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter' there is no report related to this, but the system produces a standard report for Apple, and I enclose it as a text file.
Furthermore, if I try to launch X11 (it work regularly, even with GIMP) and then xterm, and from within "inkscape" it produces this error message:
bash-3.2$ inkscape
(inkscape:81534): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: cannot open directory /opt/local/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors: Errore nell'aprire la directory "/opt/local/share/gvfs/remote-volume- monitors": No such file or directory

..many times repeated ..
(inkscape:81534): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed
Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Bus error
Maybe that's clearer to you. I guess I have to clean up my system, probably deleting those configuration file that Inscape write for first time installation as a new user...
Could you point me anything about it ?
Thanks in advance Daniele
