PHP Imagick Won't Read SVG file

Question

When I try to load an SVG file, I get this error message

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ImagickException' with message
'unable to open file `/tmp/magick-aWsnhHLT': No such file or directory
 @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/583'
in /var/www/file.php:250
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/file.php(250): Imagick->readimage('/var/www/ima...')
#1 {main} thrown in /var/www/file.php on line 250

And that's with this code

$Vector = new Imagick();
$Vector->readimage("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/images/Vector.svg");

And this SVG file

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20010904//EN"

Can Imagick not open SVG files? It seemed to be doing great with EPS files though. Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

I know I'm late to the party here, but this error is most likely due to a missing library.

Try installing libmagickcore5-extra or libmagickcore-6.q16-2-extra depending on distribution
