This is the inkscape that I have installed through fink:

$ fink list | grep inkscape
i inkscape 0.46-4 SVG application

The precompiled version of 0.46 worked when I had OSX 10.5.6; but broke
when I migrated to 10.5.7 . So, I tried inkscape-0.47-pre1-1.LEOPARD.dmg .
It would try to start up then crash. Then I installed the latest version of
Quartz. Once I installed the latest version of Quartz, the inkscape icon
would appear on my dock; but the program would never appear.

I then tried installing inkscape through fink which is above. I then
invoked the fink version of inkscape and it had no problem; but it does
flash these "Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with
non-zero page size is deprecated" . I then attempted to install and invoke
inkscape-0.47-pre1-1.LEOPARD.dmg and it worked. Now after installing
inkscape-0.47-pre1-2.LEOPARD.dmg and seeing that it doesn't work, I
re-installed the pre1-1 version and it no longer works for me. Since the
fink version still works for me, I'm not necessarily in a bind. But, neither
versions of 0.47-pre work for me any longer.
