graphviz embed svg images

Question

I am trying to generate a diagram with embeded svg images. If I run graphviz with the regular svg command, the images are only referenced.

dot -Tsvg diagram.dot -O

Here it says to build with -Tsvg:cairo but I get the following:

dot -Tsvg:cairo diagram.dot -O

Warning: No loadimage plugin for "svg:cairo"

I have lib cairo installed, so I don't know what I am missing.

I am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I asked the same question in the askubuntu but there aren't any graphviz tags there.

Same on OS X High Sierra, latest brew install graphviz --with-pango. – Monovalent
