Inkscape 0.91 on Mac OS X - Can't draw any symbol

[cancelliere]

I can't get the extension to work.

The error I receive is:
RuntimeError: Command pdflatex /var/folders/72/msgvrvh51jlbctvzxd9qr8840000gn/T/tmprSk2yD/tmp.tex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

If I comment the remove_temp_files(self) method in textext.py (lines 515 to 518) and run the pdflatex <tempfile.tex> <switches> command in a terminal, I can compile the .tex file correctly.

If I disable Latex altogether, I can get the symbol with the raw string as a value.

I'm using Inkscape 0.91+devel+osxmenu r12922 on Mac OS X 10.11.6.

Hum... I wonder whether Mac OS has problems with python's 'tempfile' module

I'm having a similar issue in Inkscape0.92/Windows10 when using the general circuit extension. Here is the error message;

When using the semiconductor it works fine as long as I uncheck the "Add voltage arrow" and "Add voltage box". When they are selected a error appears. Here is the complete error message from when those checkbox are selected:

I'm really new at this, so maybe is a simple mistake. I really hope this works, it seems a great tool.

I guess you are having problems with latex support. Did you try to disable Latex support?

follow the instructions here:

I am uploading soon a new version of inksapeMadeEasy that might solve the possible problem with tempfile.
