Cdimara:

The directions for enabling python on OS X don't seem to be working for me. I'm running 10.4.9 using the binary pyxml package. Effects like "Lorem Ipsum" still whine about "The inkex.py module requires PyXML. Please download the latest version from <http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/>." after downloading.

'''Note:'''I've been told there is an issue with pyXML 0.8.4 and Inkscape 0.45. And to use pyXML 0.8.4. I'm going to verify and change if necessary.

Cdimara: restored text regarding enabling effects under preferences. With a not that it might only be necessary with certain older versions

Setting Up Effects in Inkscape 
For effects to work you need to be using inkscape .42 or later. 
For info about what effects can do, screenshots, and how to make your own go to [http://www.ekips.org/comp/inkscape/ Aarons Site] 
See also [[GettingExtensionsWorking]]. 

Unhide the Effects menu (Only necessary in some versions of Inkscape. Between .41 and .45) 
- On the "Misc" tab of the "Inkscape Preferences" dialog check the box labeled "Enable script effects" (0.41+CVS onwards only)
- Close and reopen Inkscape

Python Effects 
on Debian GNU / Linux
- apt-get install python python-xml

on Microsoft Windows
- [[GettingEffectsWorking/Windows]] Tutorial on Getting Effects to work on Windows

on Mac os X
- See [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX Mac OS X compiling page] (at the bottom)

Perl Effects 
on Debian GNU / Linux
- apt-get install perl libxml-xql-perl

on Gentoo GNU / Linux
- emerge -a XML-XQL

on Microsoft Windows
- install [http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePerl [[ActivePerl]]]
- install XML::XQL::DOM (perhaps like this?)
1: install prereqs with ppm:
install xml-dom
install parse-yapp
install datemanip
2: download xml-xql from:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TJ/TJMATHER/XML-XQL-0.68.tar.gz
3: open command prompt and locate perl"s lib directory with:
perl -e "print qq(@INC)" (mine was C:[[/Perl/site/lib]])
4: unpack xml-xql archive
5: copy contents of XML-XQL-*\lib\XML into C:\Perl\site\lib\XML
6: copy XML-XQL-*\XQLParser\Parser.pm to C:\Perl\site\lib\XML\XQL

Plugin Effects 
- I have absolutely no idea. Please record your success here. :)

What if it doesn't work? 
- Run Inkscape from the console
- Use the error messges printed to the console to diagnose the problem (very often missing dependencies)
- On Windows you will have to redirect output to a text file like this: "inkscape > output.txt"

Cdimara:

I don't think that its necessary (or possible) to enable effects under the misc preferences tab. I'm on inkscape .45 and that option is gone and the effects are in the menu. Ok to remove?

Also it looks like the "Enable Effects" button under misc preferences is now gone.
