I've set it up so both the Command and Control keys work as control. This version should work okay with X11.įinally, you might want to change the key bindings in X11, as the Option/Alt key doesn't work very well for me with Control. I got it working by hacking the script myself, but then I found an easier method: download the version of Inkscape with the fix built in. Next, the standard version of Inkscape has a startup script that doesn't work with Leopard.

XQuartz is a community upgraded version of Apple's X11, and is apparently stabler with apps like Inkscape.
#INKSCAPE FOR MAC PREFERENCES INSTALL#
Forgive me if I accidentally leave something out this took a lot of stages to figure out.įirst, install the latest version of XQuartz. I spent much of the weekend getting Inkscape to run on my shiny new iMac, and I know how frustrating it can be to get inkscape running! I think I've got it running now under Leopard 10.5.1, so I'll try to outline all the steps I needed to take to get it to run. Hi MBUser this my first post to the forum, so forgive me if make some silly mistakes with the formatting! Please help me to run Inkscape on my Mac. I think that the error is at Inkscape, because I can start GIMP, which uses X11, too! So I have waited between 20 and 30 minutes, but nothing happened! The X11 bash - window appears on the screen and then nothing happens! A member of an german forum gives me the advice to wait long time. If I doubleclick on the Inkscape icon the icon appears in the dock and a few seconds later the X11 icon appears next to the Inkscape icon. Then I contacted a german forum for advice, but it doesn't help. Three days ago I wanted to start Inkscape to work on my projects, but Inkscape didn't start. The first time, I started Inkscape after the installation process, it runs without problems. Inkscape is my most frequently used software, and so I have it installed on my new Mac.
#INKSCAPE FOR MAC PREFERENCES MAC OS X#
My problem: Last week I have baught a MacBook with Mac OS X Leopard. I am new in this forum! My native language is german, so I hope you can understand me!
