inkscape crashes on start in FreeBSD 11.2

Hi,

I've installed FreeBSD 11.2 and plasma5. I've installed inkscape 0.92.3_3 from the ports with
hopefully all dependencies.

When I start inkscape, there will be an information window telling the inkscape has found an internal error and is closing.

Just to get more information about the bug, I'm starting inkscape from the shell and get these messages:

inkscape was running without any problems in KDE4 on FreeBSD 11.2. So my question is

What is missing? Is there a dependency missing or this there really a bug in inkscape?

Kind Regards

Robert

I've just seen that there is a german messages in the shell-output telling that there is a gtk-engine missing, but I think I have unstalled all gtk-enginges, which are needed:

I have found an inkscape.core file. Perhaps this helps.

Similar problem here.
I use inkscape-0.92.3_3 on FreeBSD dell 11.2-RELEASE-p4 - no plasma though (just plain i3).
I suspect, though, that this is not really an inkscape problem. I have tried older versions of inkscape (0.92.2...) which, I think, did work in the past. They have the same problem now. Installing inkscape from ports does not help either.
Here is a backtrace:

So, some updates.

I've tried to install all themes and 1 was missing.

So, FreeBSD was deinstalling the gnome 2 themes.

Now I get the following shell-output when I want to start inkscape.

I also tried to install the following packages:

wx31-gtk3
gtk-qt-engine

I thought that some libraries are missing, but it seems, that more is missing. :(

Robert

[Mc (mc...)]

Usually, these errors happen when "make install" is missing, which hints at a packaging issue

[Vladimir Vasilenko (sailorsamoor)]

The error was disappeared after last updating OS. Thank all for the time.

[Robert Friemer (rfriemmedia)]

Hello,

I can also approve that the last package update has solved the problem. Now Inkscape is starting.

The only message which comes up is:

$ inkscape

** (inkscape:2403): WARNING **: 19:15:48.018: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap:
        /usr/local/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/../assets/line-h.png,

$

But I think the programm itself is running ok now.

Thanks a lot.

Robert
