I'm testing the latest 0.47 pre4 on OS X - 10.5.8 at work and perspective works just fine. But at home i have OS X - 10.6.1 and doing perspective fails and gives this message:
The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and therefore this extension. Please download and install the latest version from http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/, or install it through your package manager by a command like: sudo apt-get install python-lxml
Is something just not finished in the 0.47 or is it something changed in Snow Leopard?
due to changes in Snow Leopard.
See these possibly related bugs/issues: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/448285 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/321346
I know the team is pushing for a release, but updating the libraries (and verifying that they will be picked up correctly) that are bundled w/the win32 and OS X installers would be a good idea IMO.
This issue is known and partly described in Bug #421305 “Inkscape does not run on Mac OSX 10.6”: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/421305 and mentioned previously on the mailing-lists: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/31586 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/12748 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/12751
