I read on the wiki that now svg is natively supported. Hmm.
No. You need to have inkscape installed (and in your PATH) for svg to pdf conversion to work.
FWIW, I cannot find the intermediate file 'm_k_i_v_ChangingField_ILUC.pdf' on my disk either…both graphics files are in the same location, both exist, both are named correctly….
@Hans, could we change the conversion so that it checks for inkscape and gives a more sensible warning if inkscape is absent?
so what is a robust check ...
How about just implementing the unix which command in lua?
(untested code)
Indeed -) It's more complicated as on windows there can be implicit 'exe', 'cmd', 'bat' suffixes but some testing shows that a path checker is faster than calling which/where so I've added an os.[which|where] to l-os.lua that we can use. I've added a check to the graphic converter code but didn't test (not in the mood to rename/remove programs and/or make a test file).
