Active python is Python 2.7.8 (default, Jul 3 2014, 06:13:58) When trying to use the textext extension, a message appears to the effect that the lxml class cannot be found.

In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers inkscape-textext).

I suspect you are running inkscape from inkscape-app. Try executing inkscape from a terminal.

[jjstickel (Jonathan Stickel)]

Email communication with the reporter confirmed that the error resulted from using inkscape-app. I add a note to the Portfile in the attached patch that tells users to use inkscape and not inkscape-app. I also correct the implementation of the default variant. This patch should effectively close the ticket.

Hmm, this should work with inkscape-app which is just a fancy wrapper to call ${prefix}/bin/inkscape. I can try to reproduce this and see if there's a way to make it work.

[seanfarley (Sean Farley)]

Ok, I found a way to fix this by making the inkscape app a script so that PATH can be adjusted.

Fixed in r124348.
