However, when I quit inkscape and tried to open another .eps file, inkscape reported that ps2pdf failed, and now I am no longer able to open eps files in inkscape! Anyone else have this problem? scratch that: following this blog post I was indeed able to change the arrow head color with the line.

The install cant fine the gcc compiler. You need to install the Mac OSX XCode Development Tools from the apple developer site. That will solve the problem you are seeing. But as yet I've been unable to solve the problem with the original inkscape error message that we came here to resolve. @S I had the same problem as you’re showing.

Inside this shellscript a PATH is exported that results in alternative package managers (MacPorts, Fink) getting searched/loaded first, then MacPython (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework), then the system libraries. Also I think since 0.48 Inkscape not only includes its own python/site-packages inside the Resources subdir but in this numpy and lxml are included by default for i386 arch (32-bit). Have a look at "/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape" which is the shell script that contains the PATH order. They also explain starting at line 15 in that file why they do it and in what order. So since I had a well maintained MacPython 2.7.1 (the official installation from python.org) installation at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework with lxml and numpy installed by myself in the past all I had to do was to modify the "inkscape" bootstrap shell script and reorder the PATH so that my custom MacPython would be found before my MacPorts, the system Python etc. Also you don't need to delete the "python" dir that comes with Inkscape in order to block their included site-packages from loading. Look at line 26 in "inkscape" bootstrap script: "# Setup PYTHONPATH to use python modules shipped with Inkscape" There you can comment the modification out and you should now be certain to have only your custom Python used.
