[solved] Inkscape and my Mac

Postby kevie192 » Tue Apr 08, 2008 6:14 pm

Hi all,

I've just tried to install Inkscape on my mac (OS Tiger) and seem to have a few problems.

I installed the application and realised that I needed X11 so installed this from my tiger install disk.

Now when I try to open Inkscape, X11 opens and I see the inkscape icon briefly in the dock and then it disappears.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Kevin

Try searching this forum for "Mac" or "Mac X11" and you might find some answers... maybe this topic?

I followed all the instruction on that thread and then searched and tried everything to no avail.

Just wanted to let people know that I found installation instructions on the Wiki which suggested updating the version of X11 to the latest on the apple website. Since doing this Inkscape has worked perfectly!

Thanks for the help,

Kevin
