For me it did not work in the 0.48 out of the box, neither any hints I googled help. So I found my own way:

I tried this, but it didn’t work. No error messages when the commands were executed, but after that no improvement. Extensions still do not work.
I use an Imac 21.5 with OSX 10.6.4

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this tip with us. I have just installed the last dev version (it says 0.48 in the Help/About), but I meet the same problem. I have MacPorts installed on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.4 French). I have also tried to execute the steps you indicate, they do not seem to solve the problem. So, I am afraid that some of us will continue to meet this problem even with the next version

You made my day! Thank you very much for sharing this hint. It worked like charm for me. Also the numpy installation (see previous comment), despite a terribly long list of warnings, worked without problems. (Inkscape 0.47 r22583, built Nov 24 2009 on a Mac running OS X 10.6.3 Build 10D573)

Worked great for me, but like Vincent I got an error about numpy. I needed to install it:

$ sudo easy_install -U numpy

Then things seemed to work ok.

Also : is it a problem that when I tried to install the lxml I got:

NOTE: Trying to build without Cython, pre-generated ‘src/lxml/lxml.etree.c’ needs to be available.

I was very excited when I found this, but it didn’t work for me : (

Now I get:

Failed to import the numpy or numpy.linalg modules.
I’m using 0.47 and don’t seem to have any of these path effects available under Extension

I was using the 0.46 version from their website, but there’s a new 0.47 version now there, maybe it just works. I haven’t tried it yet.
