Hi all, I'm new to the list, I try inkscape for the first time and have some problems:
first when I want to open a file create by sodipodi I have the following error message:
CRITICAL **: file system.cpp: line 74 (SPDocument* sp_module _system_open(const gchar*, const gchar*)): assertion `SP_IS_MODULE_INPUT(imod)' failed
second now when I want to save: Unable to find output module to handle file: /home/karen/test
I have install inkscape from rpm package (run under mdk10.0) and the installation seems OK, don't know if I miss something?
Thanks for your help Karen
What is the file's filename? If it's 'test', try renaming it to 'test.svg' before loading it. Several issues had been found with how Inkscape handled file extensions, and will be fixed in this coming release but may not be working properly with the release you're using.
It's unlikely that a file that works in Sodipodi would not work in Inkscape, though certainly not impossible. I don't think we've run into a case like this yet, though. However, if it was, a workaround is to save the Sodipodi file as 'plain svg' before loading it in Inkscape; again, though, this shouldn't be necessary and if it is, should be filed as a bug against Inkscape.
It's also probably not an installation issue; if it was, it's likely others would have run into it by now. Are you able to create, save, and load new drawings in Inkscape? If so, then the program is installed correctly.
Anyway, try renaming the file and let us know. Hopefully that's it, and hopefully this issue is already resolved for the upcoming release. :-)

Welcome Karen!
Usually the errors you are seeing are caused by the autodetect feature failing to find a match of what format to open/save your file as. Usually a good thing to try when getting these errors is to force Inkscape to use a format by selecting it in the open/save dialog.
I'll also mention that this has gotten alot better in the upcoming release. Bulia and I have been spending time making this work better, and also give better error messages when it fails.

Thanks to all, I didn't expect any answer before tomorrow... Then now it works, it was an extension problem, now with svg extension, I manage to open my old sodipodi file and also save my new file. I think of an installation problem because of the "unable to find"... I Just for information I use version 0.37-1mdk one more thanks Karen
Ah, good to hear Karen! Like Ted mentioned, this quirk has received attention recently and should be improved in the upcoming release. We'd appreciate getting your thoughts on the fix when you get a chance to try the new release.

hy everyone
i've build cvs 3 days ago and played with it... it's nice, but it sometimes crashes when i try to save a file. it saves autobackup while closing... sadly i cant really define situation when it doesnt, but it's about half-chance. library problems? i'm using heavily patched rh9...
what CXXFLAGS should i use / is -march=pentium3 everything i can do for speed improvement?
tnx, bostjan
