install/un-install and 'libXinerama.1.dylib' problem
Hi all, I hope this is the right place to post this, apologies if not. Happy New Year anyway.
I had Inkscape (IS) installed a long while ago and it worked ok for a while. I had some novice but useful results. i am using an G4 iBook 933 OSX 10.4.8
After a longer while it became impossible to open either an old or new file in IS. I uninstalled IS but was unsuccessful in my attempts at re-installing for similar reasons as I have just encountered today.
Today I have tried to install IS again, all seemed to go ok, but when I started Inkscape up, it got the Apple X11 programme going and then the IS logo appeared in the dock but nothing else whatsoever.
I trashed the IS app and now it won't let me delete it from the Trash, even though nothing is open, and shows a trash error msg as follows: 'The operation cannot be completed because the item "libXinerama.1.dylib" is in use.'
Does anyone know what may be going on? What solution might there be?
Many thanks regards Gareth
first, what version of Inkscape are you using? It takes a while to load, so you have to wait for another minute for it to load.
the way I delete Inkscape when upgrading is to put the Inkscape app bundle (icon) onto to the desktop, then go to Terminal under Utilities in Applications folder and at the prompt, enter cd Desktop rm -rf Inkscape.app
