Peter / Marius / Ken Many thanks - my installation is now working!
I used MacPorts to install xorg-server because I have a feeling that my x11 may have been corrupted. I then did a restart of my machine and inkscape then launched via a terminal session. I then used MacPorts to install gimp and that is also working. Gimp is 2.10 which is the latest … Inkscape is 0.92.2 which is downlevel from the latest but perhaps MacPorts doesn’t yet have the absolute latest version. Anyway - you guys have helped me enough to let me move forward - appreciated! Also very impressed with MacPorts as a product - so a thank you to all the people who have given time and effort to create it!
