Convert SVG > PNG: missing delegate?

[pp1]

I needed ImageMagick 6.6 on an Ubuntu 10.04 machine, so I compiled 6.6.1-10 from source and have this running on this machine (this version is not in the repositories). However, when I try to convert a SVG file to PNG, I get this error:

Code: Select all

$ /usr/local/bin/convert draw11.svg test.png
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/tmp/magick-XXkWoFuc' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/566.
convert: missing an image filename `test.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2970.

When I run convert -list format, I see the following (relevant) entries:

Code: Select all

SVG  SVG       -w+   Scalable Vector Graphics

Indicating that there is write support, but no read support for SVG. Could this be the problem? Also, I get this information from convert -list configure:

Code: Select all

$ convert -list configure

So I have no information whatsoever under DELEGATES. But I am not sure which files and how to install those, if this is the problem. Any help is appreciated.

Total stab in the dark, but do you have libxml2 and freetype-2 installed at compile time. From the formats page:

Requires libxml2 and freetype-2. Note that SVG is a complex specification and support for the specification in ImageMagick is not complete.

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php

Again, total stab in the dark.

You have no DELEGATES installed. See your line starting with DELEGATES.

You need to install any delegates that are required for svg and png. Then reinstall IM
