Installing Inkscape on Mavericks

Question

I have installed Inkscape 0.48.2 on my brand new mac mini running Mavericks but I can never get it to work as it crashes. It once asked me about the X11 server which I have installed but it never worked ever since. What should I do?

Answer 1

Make sure you installed Xquartz for the X server. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/

To see the logs you can try from the command line:

/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/Inkscape
