Re: [Inkscape-user] OSX 10.12 problem
Hi, Maren and Brynn!
Thanks for getting back to me on this!
Apologies for my lack of clarity:-)
Which installation method did you choose?
X11 (cia MacPorts)
Which instructions did you follow?
The ones on the release page for 0.92 OSX: https://inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/ https://inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/
I'm not a Mac user either. But I've seen this problem posted a few different times. After using Macports to install Inkscape, everything looks like it was working. But afterwards, they can't find Inkscape.
That is exactly what happened in my case. Can’t find anything named inkscape on my computer!
A bit frustrating overall, since I’m not really accustomed to doing stuff in Terminal. But it did look like everything was supposed to be OK.
Thanks
Girilal
Hi Girilal, Unfortunately, all we can do at this point, is to suggest you contact Macports support for this. If you learn what the solultion is, would you please let me know? At least I'll be able to help other users who try the Macports route. If you can't get a solution from Macports, at least you should be able to install version 0.91 from the website, for the time being. There is a DMG version for 0.91. There is some encouraging news for the future, and hopefully near future. A small handful of people have become interested in providing an official Inkscape release for Macs. I'm not sure if that means a DMG version, or exactly what it means. But I'll be trying to follow their work, and I'll try and keep the forum community informed (and mailing list too). Sorry, I wish I had better news for you.
All best, brynn
