Inkscape

Import from Clipart.org Not Available

Asked by szaijan on 2008-11-24

I downloaded and installed Inkscape 0.46 for Mac OS 10.5. It works quite well, but the command File->Import from Clipart.org does not appear in my File menu, despite the fact that I set my Clipart.org username and password in the File->Inkscape Preferences->Import/Export tab and they appear to be correct. How do I activate this feature?

Thanks.

Run your inkscape from terminal and try to use the feature. It may be it throws out some errors, which you would have to report as a bug.

That's something I sould have tried first. It seems to have a problem with my GTK or my C library. Maybe I need to compile it for my machine.

dhcp-sun07-29-48:MacOS 27298$ ./Inkscape

This one is nothing dangerous, it just states that your current locale isn't supported by Gtk, and fallback (C) is used.

But this is the problem. It is related to your X11 or windowsmanager or something's settings, which does not allow inkscape to open new window. I don't know how to solve this. Google for "osx connection refused cannot open display", the first one came up as: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=47228
If this is not the case, report it as bug, to see if somebody can help you. Answers is not the dev's place to be.

Thank you. Having worked through the connection refused issue (it was just not starting X11 gracefully), I'm back to the original problem, which is a group of Pango warnings. I would submit this as a bug, but I still suspect it's my environment and not the program.:
