Inkscape won't open

I have tried installing Inkscape through both the terminal, app grid, synaptic and using the .deb file. Also, I have tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions. The icon appears but when I try to launch it the loader spins for a while but then stops and it stops running. Strangely, it does not appear in the system monitor and no windows appear although if I right-click the icon it does give the option to create a new drawing(the button does not work though).
