As a reminder for everyone the issue to sort out was to replace skconvert by pstoedit in input extensions in order to remove the (large) dependency on skencil. This depended on the availability of the plot-svg backend in pstoedit, which is provided by an additional package (plotutils).
Well, it's not exactly easy to figure that there's any connection at all between pstoedit and plotutils. The web site of plotutils never mentions pstoedit. The web site of stoedit mentions plotutils once but not in connection with SVG; for SVG, it offers its own crippled shareware SVG back-end.
I installed pstoedit 3.33 and plotutils 2.4.1 from source but I don't see any way to make them work together. "pstoedit -f plot-svg" says "Unsupported driver plot-svg". Ideas?
I have pstoedit 3.4 and plotutils 2.4.1 and they work together just fine. I haven't done anything special. the softwares were installed via a package management system and not from source but I doubt this makes a difference. did you install pstoedit before or after plotutils? what does $ pstoedit -f help lists? polt-svg isn't listed there? I have: plot-svg: .svg: svg via GNU libplot (/sw/ lib/pstoedit-3.40/libp2edrvlplot.0.0.0.so)
