Inkscape 0.47 pre 4, OS X 10.6.1, The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2

Hello,

I'm testing the latest 0.47 pre4 on OS X - 10.5.8 at work and perspective works just fine.
But at home i have OS X - 10.6.1 and doing perspective fails and gives this message:

--------------------------
The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and therefore this extension. Please download and install the latest version from http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/, or install it through your package manager by a command like: sudo apt-get install python-lxml
--------------------------

Is something just not finished in the 0.47 or is it something changed in Snow Leopard?

Regards :)

See these possibly related bugs/issues:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/448285
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/321346

I know the team is pushing for a release, but updating the libraries
(and verifying that they will be picked up correctly) that are bundled
w/the win32 and OS X installers would be a good idea IMO.

due to changes in Snow Leopard.

This issue is known and partly described in Bug #421305 “Inkscape does
not run on Mac OSX 10.6”:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/421305> and mentioned
previously on the mailing-lists:

That's because it's hidden in the comments as no Snow Leopard user has
filed a separate bug report about it yet - and I'm hesitant to do it
because I haven't upgraded and could not test or verify any patches or
fixes locally.

I disagree! ;-)

I've spent a fair bit of time trying to fix this for Snow Leopard, but  
I guess it has something to do with 64 vs. 32-bit incompatibilities  
(though I actually still can't get it to work by forcing Inscape and  
particularly python to run in 32 bit mode -- possibly the mechanism  
for doing this does not work properly).  At the moment I think we are  
going to have to have a separate Snow Leopard package with it's own  
specially built python modules.

I've been busy overseas in Texas for the last week, but will be  
heading back home tomorrow to Australia and then I'll have time to  
look at this some more.  In the meantime, if someone else wants to  
follow the process for compiling the python modules from a Snow  
Leopard machine and then replace the python components in the pre-
built app bundle (as ~suv suggested in the "Advice on how to update  
lxml on OS X" thread), then I think this is the best solution we have  
right now.


Cheers,
Michael

quick question: can the MacPorts python modules just be copied from
'${prefix}/lib/python2.5/site-packages' or
'${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.6/site-packages'
and put into the bundle 'python/site-packages/${arch}' or do they need
specific configure options to be 'relocatable'?

~suv

BTW - for any Snow Leopard user willing to try - here is a InkscapeForum
thread about a reported successful python module installation on SL,
although it remains unclear to me where the modules finally were
installed ;-)

If I remember well, this is how I did it in the first place. It should
just work fine.

Hi again,

I have no clue how to update what to get this working.
Will this be fixed in the 0.47 final or will all 10.6 users be without the effects?

Cheers

I think that this is up to whoever ends up packaging 0.47 on OSX and
whether or not a solution has been found.

Cheers,
Josh
