- Thank you so much for your time and your answer.
Just keep in mind that - as already stated in my earlier reply - I'm not a developer myself and do not know nor understand the reason why you get those errors when trying to compile Inkscape trunk from the sources.
Unfortunately, my reply seems to have opened a pandora's box ...
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.
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:
1) 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.
