Alexander, there's nothing listed under fink list -i svg Here's one more observation that may help narrow things down (maybe): I simply tried loading an svg file by passing it to inkscape as a command line argument instead of opening it in the GUI. I get the following error: % inkscape Shapes3.svg (inkscape:13436): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_uri_is_local: assertion `uri != NULL' failed ** (inkscape:13436): WARNING **: Invalid URI ** (inkscape:13436): WARNING **: Error: Could not open file 'Shapes3.svg' with VFS Then the GUI starts up and gives me the same load error dialog mentioned above. Now if I try the same procedure with a JPG image from the command line, then inkscape doesn't complain and starts up with no problem.
