Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/lib/

Reason: Incompatible library version: DictionaryServices requires version 10.0.0 or later, but libxml2.2.dylib provides version 9.0.0
@Earl - The 'Incompatible library version' is a known issue and being worked on (see bug #392693 and its other duplicates). As I don't have 10.6 installed yet - can I ask you to test the latest prerelease build 'Inkscape- 0.47-pre1- 2.LEOPARD. dmg' from <http:// sourceforge. net/projects/ inkscape/ files/inkscape/ 0.47pre1/>? So far there have been no crash reports for that build running on SL.
The reason I ask you to do a test run: yesterday I read in two comments on InkscapeForum.com that the python extensions fail on SL with the infamous message "The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and therefore this extension. Please download and install the latest version from http:// cheeseshop. python. org/pypi/ lxml/, or ...". www.inkscapefor um.com/ viewtopic. php?f=29& t=3588>

If this is really the case it needs to be fixed before 0.47 is released IMHO. Therefor I am looking for information that (hopefully _not_) confirms this extension failure on a default SL install. If any of the effects in the 'Extensions' menu fail with the above quoted message - could you open a separate bug report please?
Thank you in advance for your time and effort,
