Inkscape and X11

Did you make sure to download the 10.6 version? It takes a while on the first launch.

I just created a new account to test and it took 4 minutes. Of course, this is under worst-case conditions. iTunes is taking about 185% of my 1st gen Macbook to do a first-time sync on my iPad.

Can you run other X apps? Maybe delete your Inkscape dot files and try again.

Thanks for the help with this, by the way. What other X apps would i have? This is the first one I was trying to use.

At the minimum you should have a bunch of programs in

/usr/X11/bin
/usr/X11R6/bin

The following should provide a good example selection of X11 apps to make sure your X11 is working:

/usr/X11/bin/ico
/usr/X11/bin/xterm
/usr/X11/bin/xeyes
/usr/X11/bin/xman
/usr/X11/bin/oclock
/usr/X11/bin/xclock
/usr/X11/bin/xcalc
/usr/X11/bin/xlogo

To uninstall I just drag the inkscape icon to the trash, right?

That is the generally accepted method, especailly if the way you installed the application was to drag from a .dmg to the Applications folder.

If the application had an install app, then it might also have an uninstall app.

Maybe try to run xterm just to make sure that X is working properly.

If you have e correct version of Inkscape, there is no need to delete the application itself. You need to use the Terminal to delete the ".inkscape-etc" directory in your home directory. You will only be able to see this directory with the Terminal.

BTW, I just hope you are aware of this.

There's a ton of discussion topics over at the Inkscape Forum.
regarding Inkscape & Snow Leopard.

The forum is great there. and you should
get a lot of info/help with this.
