My Inkscape is not install through Fink, but the dmg file that obtain from http://www.inkscape.org/ .
I installed inkscape through Fink about one month ago, but it is not succeed. I doubt if there are conflict between the different versions. Since I found that Fink use a mixture of own
libraries and
the
system, but not seems the fink's.

The
system
informations
are:
Leopard
10.5.2,
X11-2.1.4,
Inkscape-0.45.1.
Where
did

get

Fink
only
has
inkscape-0.44.1.
Version
0.44.1-1002

| Hi --
The Inkscape dmg is independent of Fink and contains all the dependencies that it needs (I think). So this is an issue better addressed at the Inskape user message board. I've had the same problem with the same set up (10.5.2, Intel, 0.45.1 and 0.46, X11-2.1.4) and it seems to be an X11 problem. The following is from a post I made to the Inkscape board a couple of days ago. (0.46 is actually 0.45 dev and is the new release of Inskape that will be released within a couple of days.)
"The problem definitely seems to be an X11 issue rather than Inkscape. I set up a new user and 0.46 runs just fine using Inkscape and X11 from the same Applications directory, so the problem must be in my normal user settings or files somewhere. I found the following for anyone having problems with X11 startup at: http://lists.apple.com/archives/X11-users/2007/Nov/msg00498.html and specifically a short routine to check all the user controlled set up files (.rc, .profile etc) for incorrect DISPLAY settings:
$ grep DISPLAY ~/.*rc ~/.login ~/.*profile ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist 2>/dev/null
$ grep -r DISPLAY /opt/local/etc /sw/etc /etc 2>/dev/null
In my case this came up with the ~/.profile file that included a line :
export DISPLAY=:0.0
and when I ran
"echo $DISPLAY" the result was
:0.0
Apparently this is a bad thing and what causes the problem - a common issue, and the offending line in ~/.profile should be deleted
Then after running Inkscape you will find that running
"echo $DISPLAY" will produce
/tmp/launch-LGD5sz/:0
or something similar in format."
And that's as it should be.
.............So try the above. Also try deleting (or moving aside) the ~/.inkscape and ~/.inkscape-etc files - Inkscape will create new clean versions when you start it.
Finally if that doesn't work, set up a new user and try running Inkscape in it - if you find it runs fine, there's a bad file in your current user that's getting in the way.
Good luck

Don't blame Fink on this one without strong evidence to the
contrary.
We deliberately install our files, by default, in a location
that isn't
used by the system. A Fink update shouldn't affect anything
else that
doesn't link to Fink-installed libraries. Unless you
installed Fink in
/usr/local, but then that's your responsibility.
So the possible causes are:
1) inkscape.org's binary had files get overwritten by Fink.
This seems
not very likely--but if it's the case, that's not our
responsibility,
since they can install library files in any location they
like rather
than in /sw. My Mac is offline right now so I can't look
into this
preently.
2) The X11 update changed something. I'd say this is the
most likely
cause, and is completely out of our control, since we no
longer provide
an X11 distribution as of 10.5.
