Mac OS X package installation with Xorg or XFree86 from Fink
by John L. Clark
I'm using Xorg installed through Fink on OS X (10.3.9), and for a while
I was unable to get the Inkscape 0.42.2 package for OS X to run
appropriately. I was finally able to get it to work flawlessly, and I
wanted to pass along that information in case others run into similar
problems. I would be happy to put this into the Wiki if someone wants
to tell me where it should go. (Does it belong at
<http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SupportedOperatingSystems>?)
I started out with a shiny new install of the Xorg package from Fink
after wiping out a previous attempt at installing X11 (part Apple X11,
part XFree86 Frankenstein monster that was broken). I then downloaded
and "installed" the Inkscape 0.42.2 package, and when I launched it it
tried to run X11, which failed.
At this point, I started digging around in the .app directory, and
discovered the `script` script. After commenting out line 16 of the
`script` file, I finally able to get Inkscape to spit out an error at
me, which was that it requires Apple's X11 distribution. This seemed a
little odd to me, as I would think that it would be able to run with
whatever X server is available.
It was clear that Fink wanted the open-x11 script, though, so after a
bit more research, I discovered the `applex11tools` package provided by
Fink, which essentially fills the gap between Xorg (or XFree86) and
Apple's X11. In order to install *that* package, you need to download
and mount the X11User.dmg file from
<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html> if you
don't already have it sitting around.
Now, when you launch Inkscape, it is able to correctly launch X11 along
with it. You might also want to add "exec /sw/bin/quartz-wm" to the end
of your .xinitrc, to get the nice quartz window manager. I say "might"
because it depends on your .xinitrc setup. In my case, I had copied the
system .xinitrc from /private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, and it simply
launched twm, a few xterms, and a clock, which was not really what I
wanted.
In summary, it would appear that you can use either Xorg or XFree86 as
your X Server for Inkscape 0.42.2, as long as you also install the
`applex11tools` package in Fink.
Thanks to the Inkscape team for such a great tool and toy, and thanks to
ACSpike for keeping me company and tossing around ideas with me.
Take care,
John L. Clark

Yes, I've been AWOL, but have managed to get a column going in TUX (see
FWD) and soon in Linux Magazine out of the UK.
I'll be back online soon. Also, FYI, I work for Creative Commons now as
an Open Source developer, so if there are any things I can field in that
direction, you are in SF and want to come in and eat with me here (and
get a free cc shirt), please ping me. ;)

drag, drop and copy-paste
by Trond Husø
Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug or nor, or related to gnome or inkscape,
but the other day I tried to copy a drawing from one document to
another.
I copied the element in one document, changed focus to the other
element, but when pasting I didn't get the expected result.
What happened was that I pasted the latest copied element in the other
document. I've also tried to drag the drawing, but that didn't work
either, as that wasn't possible.
Again: I am not sure if this is related to inkscape.
Environment:
I am using Fedora Core 4 on a laptop.

RE: [Inkscape-user] knotes tool
by Hibbs, Phil
Istvan Seidel:
>one question abut the knotes tool, how can i move a knote to another place
>of the line?
I'm guessing that you mean "nodes tool". Do you mean move a node to a
different place on the line without affecting the shape of the line? I don't
think this is directly possible. It may not be possible, after all, to
represent the same shaped curve with nodes in different places. You could
add a new node (select two nodes, press Ins, and a new node appears half way
in between them), but when you delete one of the original nodes, the shape
of the line changes dramatically.
The only way I can think of is to duplicate the object, and then move the
node and adjust its handles manually so that it closely matches the shape of
the other object, then delete the other object.
