Comment 1 for bug 226355

Not a Mac man myself, but try googling the following [site:nabble.com inkscape mac] or substitute mac for osx or x11. There are lots of posts there about these sort of issues.

If you come up with some good answers, please consider sharing them here, but more importantly there is a wiki page for installation problems where I've put a whole lot of stuff about X11, but it doesn't deal with errors like this, so it could use your input. Not hard to make a login for the wiki, and it doesn't have to be super polished, just have a go and others will improve it over time.

Here's the page;

Looking forward to your input (or anyone in the Mac community) when you figure out something.

Rygle.
