scratch that: following this blog post I was indeed able to change the arrow head color with the line. 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?

@S I had the same problem as you’re showing. 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.
