Hi,

A few days ago I compiled Inkscape from source, and it seemed to work just fine (even better than the standard install here on my Arch Linux system, for some reason it starts up much faster now!).

However, I just noticed that some extensions using "inkex.py" have a problem, namely



I'm not entirely sure whether this is the right sub-forum to post this -- but what's causing this? Did I forget to satisfy certain dependencies, should I have somehow changed the configuration file before compiling, did I overlook something...? Thanks!

What's the output of
Inkscape's extensions are not (yet) compatible with python v3.x and require 'python' spawned by Inkscape to run the python-based extension scripts to be v2.x (without changes in the current sources, this refers to 'python' found in $PATH (or via /usr/bin/env)).

Either make sure that your default python links to python2 (at least at runtime, as seen by the inkscape process), or patch Inkscape's sources (see for example PKGBUILD (inkscape-bzr) for archlinux).

There might be additional information in archlinux' wiki about the migration from python2 to python3.

Ah of course, compatibility issues with Python . I didn't think of looking in the AUR for a suitable package. Thanks ~suv for helping me out again!
