Thanks for your reply Dom
I Installed librsvg-2.3 and the cvs versions of abiword and
abiword-plugins.
Now I can insert the svg images, but one big problem remain, it is VERY
unstable. SVG images look strange with misplaced text, strange curves
and so on. When abiword is running I get a hundred of this message:
(abiword:2644): Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkmain-x11.c: line 648
(gdk_error_trap_pop): assertion `gdk_error_traps != NULL' failed
and sometimes the whole app freeze.
It looks like I have to wait till abiword2 gets more stable.
Maybe someone know a stable document editor which handles svg files
that I can use in the meantime cause I really need to get those svg
images imported.
