Can't open SVG files

[RustyRaptor]

I honestly don't know if this is a GIMP bug or a problem with the appimage but I cannot open SVG files with the latest release. Haven't checked previous ones yet to test though. Can anyone confirm this? Could it be that the SVG library isn't packaged in the docker container?

Also would like to point out that I can't even run it without running it as root. Though not a problem for me it could be a part of the issue?

Thanks in advance. Appreciate the effort into creating gimp Appimages.

[aferrero2707]

I have just tried running the AppImage on a minimal Ubuntu 16.04 system, and I can open SVG files without problems.

Could you please post the full terminal output that you get when trying to open the SVG image?

Also, the fact that you need root privileges to run the AppImage is not normal. Did you set the executable flag of the AppImage with chmod u+x? What error message you get when you try to run it as a normal user?
