ImageMagick also does SVGs, but it's crap at them. librsvg is the only sane way IMO. This too has a ridiculously long string of dependencies (probably all the way down to the original .au of the Free Software Song) so you really don't even want to attempt it unless it's in the repository system of whatever you're installing it on. (again, fine on CentOS 4.5.)

By the way, I just updated the SVG section in the manual:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Administration#SVG

Is anyone here actually using Inkscape or Sodipodi for SVG rendering in MediaWiki? What's the performance like? Has anyone tested this?

(I was also surprised to discover Safari on MacOS X does SVGs natively. I haven't tested with my personal favourite bastard SVG from Hell ...)
