Accidental reference to developer's own library

[John Collett]

I have an iMac running OS 10.5.1.
I have downloaded InkScape, and tried unsuccessfully to run it.
An alert says "The application inkscape-bin quit unexpectedly."
The problem report includes :

Dyld Error Message:
 Library not loaded: /Users/mjwybrow/ws-fat/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.1.dylib
 Referenced from: /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape-bin
 Reason: image not found

But I do have that library, located at
InkScape/Contents/Resources/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.1.dylib.

It's the /Users/mjwybrow/ws-fat/ which is puzzling.
It looks like an accidental reference to a developer's own library.

Which version exactly did you download? Also, can you test this against a newer release of inkscape, such as one of the alpha prereleases for 0.46?

Bryce,

My attempts to use InkScape have given me so many problems with my
machine that I have decided to stop trying.
I shall try to delete all traces, do my best to recover the original
format of my folders etc, and resolve never to try InkScape again.
Computing is supposed to be fun. This has been a nightmare.

Thanks for your interest anyway.

To answer your question, the version I downloaded was from http://www.inkscape.org/download/
Official Releases
Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard — Universal .dmg

Thanks for your interest anyway.

John,

Have you tried with the 0.46 release? If not, would you please do so as it is the currently supported version.

[ScislaC (scislac)]

Due to lack of follow up after a request for more information, and that this was filed against a version of Inkscape that is no longer supported, this is being closed. If you feel that this was closed in error, or if you can reproduce this issue with a newer version, please feel free to re-open this bug report.
