Which version of X11 do you have installed? (Launch X11 by itself and see 'X11 -> About X11')

Note: I had the same crashes on Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard (i386) with the 0.48.2-1 package from sf.net until I upgraded Apple's X11 to a newer Xquartz version (>= 2.5.1) from <http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases>.

Nevermind the question - it's in the log file. 2.1.6 is the one that is installed and updated by Apple:
> Version: 2.1.6 (2.1.6)

If possible, install Xquartz 2.5.1 or one of the later releases.

Related to packaging only (version of the bundled x11 libs), not to Inkscape's code base itself.

[Alberto Rizzone (alberiz)]

Thanks, Ill try and I'll be answer back

[Alberto Rizzone (alberiz)]

I upgraded the X11 version to the 2.6.3 version and now Inkscape runs properly.

Thanks
Alberto

Related upstream report:
 Ticket 31869 - "X (gtk2 using?) ports crash OS X 10.5.8 X11.bin"
 <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31869>

> Related to packaging only (version of the bundled x11 libs)

Actually, the incompatibility is due to having xcb support enabled for cairo 1.10.2 (bundled with Inkscape 0.48.2), and OTOH Apple's X11 2.1.6 as well as earlier XQuartz releases being built without xcb (XQuartz 2.5.1 being the first one "built --with-xcb").

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Related upstream ticket in MacPorts was closed as 'Won't Fix' (the proposal to add back a variant to disable xcb for cairo was not considered, instead it is recommended to require/install latest XQuartz 2.6.3 or MacPorts' own version of the latest X server).

If newer 32bit X11-based packages of Inkscape supporting Mac OS X 10.5.8 are provided (based on MacPorts):
-> packagers might consider installing cairo from a local portfile repository and disabling all xcb-related features (AFAIU neither Inkscape stable nor trunk depend on this specific protocol binding library).

-> else - if MacPorts' default cairo installation is used instead - the minimal requirement for running Inkscape >= 0.48.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (XQuartz 2.6.3 - the latest release of X11/XQuartz for Leopard) should be noted on the download page.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Possibly similarly related ticket in MacPorts (the backtraces of the crashed thread differ though, and ticket 29642 is seemingly fixed by a later release of X.org / XQuartz than the crashes seen with Inkscape 0.48.2):
- Gramps crashes X11.app in RootlessGlyphs on 10.5

[Qantas94Heavy (qantas94heavy)]

Given X11 is no longer bundled with later versions of macOS, it seems no action is needed any more on our behalf. Besides, Inkscape 1.0 will no longer require X11 with a native macOS app.
