Some people are having trouble installing Rsvg.jl on Windows (Luxor doesn't compile on julia v1.11.5 · Issue #332 · JuliaGraphics/Luxor.jl · GitHub). Can anyone with Windows (and a few spare minutes) install Rsvg.jl (or Luxor.jl) successfully?
This was fixed in [Librsvg] Update to 2.54.7 and add missing XML2 dep by nhz2 · Pull Request #11544 · JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil · GitHub
You need to make sure that the latest version of Librsvg_jll is being used.

Does Rsvg.jl need to be updated (released)?
I don’t think so. I think the registry could be edited to somehow prevent this.
The underlying issue is that Librsvg_jll is compiled with libxml2 2.13 but the latest version of libxml2 is 2.14, and 2.14 has a different API and ABI.
So eventually all the jll packages using libxml2 need to be rebuild or updated.
Thanks for the explanation!
I’m not clear how people can fix their problems, but at least they know why things aren’t working. 
Shouldn’t something be fixed in the registry to make this work without human intervention?

I made Fix Librsvg_jll compat by nhz2 · Pull Request #135821 · JuliaRegistries/General · GitHub which adds the XML2_jll dep to the “Deps.toml” file. Does editing “Deps.toml” like this break the registry, and in this case, should the previous versions of “Librsvg_jll” be yanked instead?
I updated the PR to yank to broken versions of Librsvg_jll
Thanks for your work!
I am not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I still get errors using Librsvg_jll v2.54.7+0.
It doesn’t seem like the jll has all the files needed.
I can’t seem to reproduce this, what exactly did you run to get those errors?
You can do something like:
julia> using Librsvg_jll
julia> rsvg = Librsvg_jll.rsvg_convert()
julia> `$rsvg -v` |> run
and the error will pop up
I get:
julia> `$rsvg -v` |> run;
rsvg-convert version 2.54.7
julia> Pkg.status(PKGMODE_MANIFEST)

This is with julia launched from juliaup in powershell on Windows 11.
Interesting.
I ran through terminal and it works. However, vscode terminal produces the error. So that fixes first issue.
The main issue is, I am calling rsvg-convert from quarto, another prgram. I add the rsvg-convert path to the quarto_jll and I get the same errors.
You can reproduce this by just double clicking the rsvg-convert.exe file in the artifacts directory.
To find it you can do:
julia> Librsvg_jll.artifact_dir
Can you reproduce the error now?
Yes, directly running the .exe without the correct environment gives the same errors you had:
run(`'C:\Users\nzimm\.julia\artifacts\07845fab6c42b158ceb0e2304c38abe3d9376fa7\bin\rsvg-convert.exe' -v`)
Can you please share the output of the following in quarto or vscode?
using InteractiveUtils, Pkg; versioninfo(); Pkg.status(PKGMODE_MANIFEST)
I wonder if quarto is adding something to the env.
Here is the output:

Info Packages marked with ⌃ and ⌅ have new versions available. Those with ⌃ may be upgradable, but those with ⌅ are restricted by compatibility constraints from upgrading. To see why use `status --outdated -m`
I also tried adding all the path from rsvg to quarto environment with no luck:
function test_report()
path = projectdir("notebooks", "aisc.qmd")
rsvg = Librsvg_jll.rsvg_convert()
env_path = rsvg.env[3]
quarto = addenv(quarto_jll.quarto(), "PATH" => env_path)
run(`$quarto render $path --to hdr-pdf`)
return nothing
end
Hmm, very strange. For what it’s worth I was never able to get recent versions of quarto to work on Windows, and always end up running it with wsl2 or linux.
Do older versions of Librsvg_jll work?
I had only requested authorization for the current Librsvg_jll on my work computer so not sure about older versions.
I was able to get quarto_jll to work for everything else. The trick is to set read/write privileges for the artifacts folder. Windows must set it to readonly by default
