dvisvgm

Install dvisvgm on Ubuntu

Asked by Stone Jia

Hi,

I follow the steps to install dvisvgm on Ubuntu 10.04.
However, I met the problem "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/martin-gieseking/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" when I update.
I try to use my browser to access, only get to ppa.launchpad.net/martin-gieseking/ppa/ubuntu/dists, not the following.
I am getting confused about it.
Thank you!

Stone

Unfortunately, there are no dvisvgm packages available for Ubuntu versions < 11.10 in my PPA. If you don't want to update your system to a newer Ubuntu release, you probably have to build dvisvgm on your own from the sources (which is pretty easy). Since Ubuntu is not my primary Linux distribution and since I have only limited time to work on dvisvgm, I can't provide packages for old Ubuntu releases.
