Hi,
I am trying to convert files from SVG format to EPS using ther command:
"convert input_file.svg output_file.eps"
I am getting the following error: "convert: no decode delegate for this image format"
I am working on Unix (HP)
Do you have any idea how to fix this error?

Many Thanks
Ilan

SVG requires the libxml2 delegate library. Most likely your version of ImageMagick was not built with libxml2 support. Type

• identify -list configure

to see what is included in your version of ImageMagick.

Also BOTH formats are vector formats. IM is a raster image processor, and as such you will LOOSE a lot of information in the conversion.

See A word about Vector Image formats for more information, and alturnatives.

Best idea is to look for a SVG to PS converter (google is your friend)
