Originator: NO

to nixnixnix: if you have X11 installed from your Tiger DVD you should
have libXinerama. Could you check the output of:
ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXine*
What is strange is that you tried to install it from the XFree
distribution, meaning that you did not have it in the first place. However,
every person I asked had it if they installed X11. Maybe you can try
reinstalling X11 from Apple. I have added a FAQ about this recently:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#I.27ve_installed_X11_on_OS_X_but_Inkscape_keeps_asking_for_it
Compiling from source may help you on this problem (basically if Inkscape
is not compiled against libXinerama it won't ask for it afterwards) but
there must be a simpler way to solve the problem.
