You can check if emacs is linked against librsvg with the following shell command (assuming you are on linux): $ ldd `which emacs` | grep svg Which should give you some line of output like librsvg-2.so.2 => /usr/lib/librsvg-2.so.2 (0xb6a86000) Within emacs, M-: (image-type-available-p 'svg) RET should display t In buffer viewing of svg works for me without any additional setup, upon pressing C-c C-x C-v, in an emacs with svg support. > > Are you suggesting that such a .svg created by org code block would be > appear in the pdf created when I export to latex -> pdf? I wish that > also... that's what I've been trying to accomplish. Yes. I'm attaching the testsvg.org file (slightly modified from the one you sent) and resultant latex export I get from the same git version as you...as you can see, the [[file:mtcars.svg]] link is translated into an \includesvg LaTeX command.

The one commonality through it all? Emacs! :) I'm in the doctoral program in linguistics at Penn, and a happy emacs user for several years. Here's to many more!
