UPDATE XQUARTZ UPGRADE
I previously used Inkscape on this computer with 10.9, and (as you have deduced) did upgrade from there (I am in Apple's developer program). > Which version of OS X do you have installed? > (inkscape-bin:1091): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: /private/tmp/5tkk/:0ĭoing a web search finds two other mentions of the substring "/private/tmp/" besides this question, and both cases report using X11 forwarding with XQuartz on a developer prerelease of OS X 10.10 Yosemite Beta: Otherwise, based on the provided information I'm as clueless right now as you :/ X11.plistĪnd then launch Inkscape.app to test whether it autolaunches XQuartz. newly installed fresh from the DMG into ~/Applications)Ĭ) quit XQuartz, and rename/move the preferences file for XQuartz: Top hits for 'Warning: duplicate definition for key 'PATH' found in environment' again point to installs of OS X 10.10 Yosemite Beta.Ī) test with a new user account on the same machineī) test with an unmodified version of Inkscape.app apple.launchd" besides this question, and both cases report using X11 forwarding with XQuartz on a developer prerelease of OS X 10.10 Yosemite Beta: 'cannot open display' - That's likely what prevents Inkscape from launching, though I would not know why this happens.ĭoing a web search finds two other mentions of the substring "/private/ tmp/com. > (inkscape- bin:1091) : Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: /private/ tmp/com. Personally, I have never seen such a value for $DISPLAY for X11/XQuartz before - usually it's something like > * My $DISPLAY variable appears to be set correctly: Which version of XQuartz is installed now? Which version of XQuartz was installed before (when Inkscape launched ok)? Was this originally an update or just a reinstallation of XQuartz? Which version of OS X do you have installed? > For perhaps not very good reasons, I re-installed XQuartz on my system. > Inkscape no longer launching after XQuartz update Is this the issue? And if so, how might I go about fixing it? The first definition was '/usr/bin: /bin:/usr/ sbin:/sbin', the ignored definition is '/opt/local/ bin:/opt/ local/sbin: /sw/bin: /usr/local/ bin:/usr/ bin:/bin: /usr/sbin: /sbin:/ opt/X11/ bin'. * One interesting thing: The console generates three copies of this this note about paths, when launching via the "open -a Inkscape" command:Ħ/8/14 11:22:20.293 PM Inkscape: *** -: Warning: duplicate definition for key 'PATH' found in environment - subsequent definitions are ignored. * Trying to launch Inkscape from within an xterm behaves identically to using a regular terminal window. (inkscape- bin:1091) : Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: /private/ tmp/com. (process:1091): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. * Trying to launch from the script fails in the same way, but gives a little more detail: Shows Inkscape briefly in the dock, but again fails to launch. * Trying to launch Inkscape from the terminal works the same as launching from the finder: So far as I have seen, only Inkscape is not launching correctly. Other X11 programs are also launching normally. If XQuartz is already open, this command opens another xterm window. * Other applications that use X11 appear to be working normally. * My $DISPLAY variable appears to be set correctly: net/inkscape/ +question/ 216559 ), obviously without success thus far. * I've tried the suggestions of many previous debugging threads here (e.g., https:/ /answers. * I have tried reinstalling XQuartz and Inkscape. * I have not changed OS version or Inkscape version (0.48.2) since everything was working. Accordingly, I have not managed to find anything that appears to be relevant in the DiagnosticReports, logs, or console (with one exception, at the end of this list).

* There is no crash, just a failure to launch. * The behavior is that the dock icon will highlight briefly, then go away, without opening XQuartz.

After doing so, Inkscape will no longer launch.

For perhaps not very good reasons, I re-installed XQuartz on my system.
