HOWTO

# librsvg
# =======
# Slackware 9.0's 'librsvg' package includes version 2.2.4, 9.1's includes
# 2.4.0, 10.0 and 10.1's include 2.6.5, 10.2's includes 2.8.1, 11.0's
# includes 2.14.4, and 12.0's includes 2.16.1

# I include three versions here, each one for a different major version of
# Gnome, but keep in mind that I only use Gnome 2.12.x myself.

# If you ever want to uninstall librsvg, or clean up files from an old
# version before installing a new one, cd into the source directory,
# run 'make uninstall', remove the source directory, then remove the
# tarball.

# Prerequisites (for all versions):
# pkg-config
# Glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0
# libart-2.0 >= 2.3.10
# libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.7
# popt
# libgsf-1 >= 1.6.0
