Interesting.  I have the following:

$ fink list -i svg
Information about 5875 packages read in 3 seconds.
 i   ksvg             3.5.3-1022   KDE - vector graphics
 i   librsvg2         2.9.5-11     SAX-based render library for SVG files
 i   librsvg2-gtk     2.9.5-11     Enable GTK to use SVG data
 i   librsvg2-shlibs  2.9.5-11     SAX-based render library for SVG files

I'd suspect that there may be one or more missing runtime depends:
probably librsvg2-gtk and librsvg2-shlibs.  Try installing
those--maybe start with librsvg2-shlibs and then librsvg2-gtk so that
we can track this down.
