Description
I've tried to run X11 and Inkscape unsuccessfully. Support at Inkscape narrowed it down to this:
3/12/10 12:06:14 PM org.x.startx[92300] xauth: creating new authority file /Users/adrea's computer/.serverauth.92300 \ 3/12/10 12:06:14 PM org.x.startx[92300] /usr/X11/bin/startx: eval: line 288: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ` \ 3/12/10 12:06:14 PM org.x.startx[92300] /usr/X11/bin/startx: eval: line 289: syntax error: unexpected end of file \
That's a problem with the name of your user account which apparently prevents X11 itself from starting, not an issue related to Inkscape: The space and single-quote are likely making something in /usr/X11/bin/startx fail.
What do I need to do to fix this? I don't know how to program, but I'm very good at follow step-by-step directs so long as every step is there.
