Currently, XQuartz is needed to run inkscape on the Mac. There may be a native Mac client whenever inkscape v1.0 is released. Another thing to keep in mind is that you will need to have Apple's command-line tools for Xcode (compiler) installed, or Xcode itself in order that the package manager can actually build inkscape for you. Catalina disables legacy smart card support that uses TokenD; Catalina's default shell is Zsh not Bash - this appears to be a licensing issue; Python 2.7 is no longer included - use Python 3 instead; XQuartz is still 32-bit so currently (X11) does not work on Catalina; macOS 10.15 Catalina.
Hi,
![Xquartz for mac catalina island Xquartz for mac catalina island](/uploads/1/2/6/6/126619286/587601817.jpg)
There is a post here:
that describes the basic issue with the installation/upgrade of Catalina and the relocation of XQuartz related files. As noted in the above post, the relocated files, if attempted to be moved to the Trash, cannot then be deleted. They cannot be deleted in place either via the CLI.
I get the same structure in my Trash:
There is a gist here:
which has a series of CLI commands that suggest that this approach would be a way to remove XQuartz, then after a restart of the computer, would then presumably allow the aforementioned files in the Trash to be deleted.
However, this approach was not successful for me.
A Google search for other possible options did not show anything, which may not be a surprise, given that Catalina was just released yesterday.
Any guidance on resolving the underlying issue would be most appreciated, as presumably, anyone upgrading to Catalina, while using XQuartz, will face the same issue.

XQuartz is an open-source version of the X.Org X server, a component of the X Window System (X11, or shortened to simply X, and sometimes informally X-Windows) that runs on macOS.[1] It formally replaced Apple's internal X11 app. The name 'XQuartz' derives from Quartz, part of the macOS Core Graphics framework, to which XQuartz connects these applications. XQuartz allows cross-platform applications using X11 for the GUI to run on macOS, many of which are not specifically designed for macOS. This includes numerous scientific and academic software projects.[2]
History[edit]
X11.app was initially available as a downloadable public beta for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar and later included as a standard package for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger X11.app was an optional install included on the install DVD. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion installed X11.app by default, but from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on Apple dropped dedicated support for X11.app, with users being directed to the open source XQuartz project (to which Apple contributes) instead.[2]
In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple's X11 implemented X11 protocol release 6.6 (X11R6.6). This implementation includes an XFree86 4.4 based X11 window server, Quartz rootless window manager, libraries, and basic utilities such as xterm.[3] 'Rootless' means that X window applications show up on the Quartz desktop, appearing like any other windowed Quartz application (that is, not in a virtual desktop contained within another window). In Mac OS X Leopard, X11 was updated to use X.Org Server (X11R7.2) rather than XFree86.[4] The source code for X11 is available from Apple. Some source code is available under the Apple Public Source License while the bulk is licensed under the MIT License.
Current version[edit]
The current version of XQuartz is a DDX (Device Dependent X[5]) included in the X.Org Server and implements support for hardware-accelerated 2D graphics (in versions prior to 2.1), hardware OpenGL acceleration and integration with Aqua, the macOS graphical user interface (GUI). As of version 2.7.11, XQuartz does not provide support for high-resolution Retina displays to X11 apps, which run in pixel-doubled mode on high-resolution displays.
