I'm after a music player for my new Arch install, and Exaile sounded good. But when I run it from the console, it crashes with the following:

Code:

$ exaile

    pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(filename)
glib.GError: Couldn't recognise the image file format for file '/usr/share/exaile/data/images/svg/exaile.svg'

How do I fix this?

From Googling .. glib.GError: ..

.. it seems that a missing 'librsvg' will prevent
python applications from recognizing " svg files ".

Installing librsvg fixed the problem - but pacman thought it was already installed! Odd...
