Installing Inkscape on new Macbook
Hello, I just purchased a new Macbook and have installed the Universal platform version but when I open the application I get an error message saying that I need X11 to run Inkscape. When I installed X 11 from the Apple website, I get another message saying my computer has a more recent version of this software already installed. I used Inkscape on my Dell PC and I hate to give it up now that I've switched to Mac! I'm desparate to get my Inkscape back! Any advice?
Thanks!!
The version of X11 (X Windows) you need comes on your install disc. One of the grey discs that came with your computer. Put that in your Mac and go under installing additional applications. I think X11 is already checked.
