 Dear All,

 I have a macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 and tried to install xfig using the command:

 {{{
 sudo port install xfig
 }}}

 Apparently, the installation was smooth with no error messages. When I
 call xfig the program also pops up normally.
 However, if I try to add a picture to my drawing (jpeg, png, etc) I am not
 able to do it. I get errors like:

 {{{
 libpng error: IDAT: invalid distance too far back
 corrupt JPEG data: 4092 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd3
 }}}

 I tried inserting several images without success.

 I am only able to insert pdf images.

 My old mac had ran an old xfig version without any problems.

 Any thoughts about these issues?

 Cheers.

Comment:

 Which version of the xfig port? (`port -v installed xfig`)
