This problem has been biting us for a while. In you case I suspect you installed the regular Inkscape version, which is for Tiger. Tiger has libXinerama and hence Inkscape links to it. It is absent on Panther and there is a Panther specific version which does not link to libXinerama and whoudl work fine. You can either download the release version explicitely for Panther from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=9... or download a more recent development build, also marked as PPC.Panther on modevia: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/
Sorry you had to try all this. The Panther specific version should work. Otherwise, if you are willing to compile it to get newer features, there is a wiki page about how to do so: http://inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX
Thanks. I downloaded a snapshot and Inkscape is running on a little Mac! There is one bug that causes the program to freeze when I pull down the help menu and choose about Inkscape. I submitted a bug at sourceforge. The Inkscape on the little mac seems to have a few more features than the one packaged with ubuntu, so maybe I'll try getting a newer version for ubuntu.
The newest Inkscape can't read SVG fonts embedded in it, can it?
