Some users have problems with running Synfig on OSX. If you downloaded our official DMG package and it doesn't start then you can troubleshoot the problem by following instructions on this page.

First, make sure that you have Apple's X11 installed. Make sure that installed version is the latest.

Still doesn't work? Then follow these steps:

  1. Reboot your Mac.
  2. Open DMG package you downloaded and double-click SynfigStudio app to run it (this step is necessary even if nothing happens after that).
  3. If it doesn't run and no error message is given, then open terminal window and execute the following command:
  /tmp/skl/SynfigStudio/Contents/Resources/synfig/bin/synfigstudio

You should get some messages. Please create an issue at our bugtracker and post them there.
