Inkscape 0.45 crashes during the start on Mac OS X 10.3.9.
Hi there,
The problem is already mentioned in the subject. For starters, I must admit, that I never had problems with X11 applications, including previous relases of Inkscape. I am using the ibook G4, so it is not related to the Intel architecture.
When I start Inkscape 0.45, I have a messeage about long time need for caching the fonts etc., and after clicking "OK" the Inkscape disappears from Dock, and in Console I can see following output:
bash: no job control in this shell
dyld: /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape-bin Undefined symbols:
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib undefined reference to _FT_Get_BDF_Property expected to be defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib undefined reference to _FT_Load_Sfnt_Table expected to be defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
Some other people have the same problem on their Macs, and the bugs have been reported on bugtracker here:

and here:

Please, fix this bug ASAP, or find some remedy, if this is caused by local settings.

This is caused by my work to build the Universal OS X package on a single machine. Turns out we can't buil the package in this nice Universal way and have it still work for 10.3.9 users.
We probably need to supply a separate package for 10.3.9 users built against the MacOSX10.3.9.sdk until enventually ditching support 10.3.9, i.e., saying Inkscape 0.4x is the last version will will release that is compatible with 10.3.9.
Could you please download the "Inkscape-0.45-2+python.PPC.dmg" and see if this works on 10.3.9? (It was built in the same way as our packages from 0.44 and before.)
If it doesn't then I will compile a separate workspace of Inkscape and all its dependencies targeting the MacOSX10.3.9.sdk so we can release an additional package specifically for 10.3.9 users. (May be some time.)
Cheers, Michael
