Issue with three inkscape tests on MacOS X #787
Description
When running the tests on MacOS X with various Python/Numpy versions, I am getting the following inkscape-related errors:

The other SVG tests pass. Does this look like an issue with my inkscape installation? I installed it using MacPorts:
$ inkscape --version Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819 (Mar 20 2012)

Not sure what's going on here, and the error output from inkscape isn't very illuminating. (FWIW, I am running inkscape 0.48.1 on Linux with no problems). I think we need to consider these inkscape bugs unless otherwise proven wrong. Do you perhaps want to take the input files and report upstream?

Ok, I'll try and follow up on this. This should not hold up the release candidate.

I have filed a bug report with the inkscape developers: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/962941

FYI I am not seeing this issue on OSX 10.7 with inkscape installed via homebrew (Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Jun 25 2012)).

I can't recreate this on OS X 10.8 with inkscape installed via MacPorts:
All of the test_axes module passes, so I'm going to close this now.
mdboom commented on Jul 16, 2013
Yes -- seems to be an inkscape installation/environmental bug that we can't really workaround here.
