[Mediawiki-l] GD Library / svg thumbnails

[KATZAKIS Nicholas]

Here's what my host came back with:

*We're able to install on your server the following modules:
Gnome2::Rsvg
Image::LibRSVG
XML::LibRSVG
Could you tell me what is the exact module you need and we'll install it for
you?
*
David could you point me to a webpage where I can read more about rsvg so
that I can tell my hosting company what to install?

thanks in advance,
Nick
