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

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.

Where did you get this inkscape from? Fink only has inkscape-0.44.1.
Version 0.44.1-1002 works correctly for me. I have the same OSX and
X11
versions as you.
