I see in 6.3.9-3, the svg coder is now using Cairo. Unfortunately, I am on a version of the Linux OS that doesn't currently support it. The machines I am using are owned by our IT department, which only are allowed standard patch upgrades. Would it be possible to add a MAGICKCORE_CAIRO_DELEGATE defi...

If you just want to convert svg to png, then the rsvg tool does that and uses the librsvg with more svg functionality. They also, have rsvg-view to view svg files. I link in librsvg to ImageMagick, because I need more conversions than just that and want the maximum functionality.

The statement is if you use the internal svg code. You can link in the librsvg product, which fixes most of the problems. The only problem with building this into ImageMagick is your build machine must have the minimum package installed for it to run. Even if you have the correct version in your lib...

There is probably a libpng in /usr/lib or some other $LD_LIBRARY_PATH location.

do an ldd or chatr on convert and see where it might be pulled in.

What platform are you on?

I've not tried the converion you mentioned, but I am also using a different version of rsvg. I believe I am using the last verison before they started using Cario, which is 2.12.7.

What happens when you use rsvg directly?

It's possible that there is some missing initialization code in the svg.so that may be in th rsvg main code.

Try the latest 6.3.8 version. There was a small change to the svg lib, that may help your cause.

Yes, that fixed that. Now, I have to add this to my my api calls, which I thought I already had.

Thanks.

I am using ImageMagick 6.3.7-10 and the latest deletes, mainly libpng 1.2.24 and ghostscript 8.61. When reading a two page ps file, display is cropping the second page. I don't see this problem if I use gs directly. Is this a known problem, or do I need to send more information and a ps file? Thanks,

It would appear the -g option was removed from the delegates file sometime between 6.3.6-10 and 6.3.7-10 for ps:* and pcl:*. This is causing problems when trying to read in a pcl format. I noticed the ps delegate entries had the same change. Running with the delegates file as installed produces the ...

When using librsvg to view svg formats and try to display an svg image with external resources, like <image xlink:href>, display will only find those images if they reside in CWD. This is because base_uri hasn't been set in librsvg. In the svg.c coder code, I added a line of code to set the base uri...

Rebuilding with --without-modules got me around the problem. Chances are one called lib is being unloaded before the parent can finish it's calls to the the lib. Very tricky when you have an app that uses a lib that uses a lib. In this case there are two more layers of libs being used.

I am in need of adding librsvg to IM in order to handle svg format better, and for the most part this is working. I do run into a SegFault with display on exit. I haven't debug this thoroughly, but it appears to be coming from IM. Has anyone tried this so I can get to the bottom of the problem? Than...

***FATAL ERROR: CGMmain [140] Cannot open file (Input file: <.cgm) I believe that is a ralcgm error. Ralcgm is in the path and executable as this call ralcgm -d ps -oC < ~/data/file.cgm > ./tmp.ps; display ./tmp.ps works fine. Also, display works as expected with the 6.3.3 version. One note that I ...
