I badly need some help...
I just installed Inkscape on my new, shiney, MacBook pro, but I can't get it to work. I installed Xquartz, latest version, but A) Xquartz never shows up under my list of applications B) When I start Inkscape, it gives me the message that it might take a couple of minutes to boot the first time, but even after hours, nothing happens.
Hi Maarten,
Could you please specify which version of Inkscape you tried?
Also, can you please start up Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities) and then try starting Inkscape, then please post any error messages shown by Console.app.
As Stu says, Xquartz installs an updated version of X11.app (found in / Applications/Utilities). This should launch automatically if it is not already running when you start Inkscape.
Cheers, Michael
