14 I don't have the file and don't have any of the wxWidgets installed, but
15 at a guess... wrong version. This seems to be confirmed with a search:
16
17 Google this for the fedora 1.0 beta 10 package:
18 wxsvg-devel-1.0-0.8.b10 svgxml.h
19
20 Now replace the b10 with b9, b8, etc. No hits. Delete the svgxml.h bit
21 and you get hits again, so it's seeing the package, just not that file in
22 the package.
23
24 Therefore, it would seem that file was added in beta 10.
25
26 Unfortunately, Gentoo's tree is outdated, with only the beta 7 ebuild. A
27 quick check of bugzy results in:
28
29 media-libs/wxsvg-1.0_beta10 version bump request
30 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215665
31
32 Seems they're working on it, but it needs some patches to work with
33 Gentoo, and while it's building, it isn't actually functional (segfaults).
34
35 So... you can try hacking that ebuild and see if you can get it to work,
36 or building and installing manually, to see if that works. I'd certainly
37 suggest CCing yourself to the bug.
38
39 It's also possible that whatever you are trying to build against that
40 header file, you can either find an older version that builds against
41 beta 7, or maybe, you can merge the building but segfaulting beta 10, and
42 not have it matter if all you need are the header files.
