[gentoo-user] Viewing SVG/SVGZ files.

[Abhay Kedia]

Hello Everyone,

I have downloaded SVG/SVGZ wallpapers from kde-look.org but when I try to view 
SVG/SVGZ in konqueror, firefox or such programs, I get weird output.

When I try to open SVGZ files in Konqueror, I get XML Parsing Error while 
Firefox shows a pop-up to save the file some where. On using Kview, I get 
"Unknown Image Format" while "Eye of Gnome" doesn't do anything, just sits 
there without even throwing an error.

In case of SVG files, they open fine in Firefox and eog but in Konqueror I get 
"image/svg+xml" written on the page while kview once again complains of 
"Unknown Image Format".

Here I must mention that both SVGZ and SVG files open fine in Opera.

It seems that I have missed some USE flag or not installed some libraries 
because of which this is happening. I tried to google but came up with only a 
Adobe SVG Viewer. Do I need to install that or is there some other GPLed 
solution available? Any pointers in helping me solve this silly mistake of 
mine will be really great.

TIA
