I'm quite sorry for so many issues opened so intensively, since I'm trying to solve the problem "Index Error" #138 which might have been debugged already in the latest version.

Thanks for your help!

This issue occurs in version 1.1.0 (latest version). It can work on 1.0.4 or previous versions.

Hi @KOBE24DUNK,
Thanks for reporting this, I didn't come across this error when testing the container. I'll dig into it and see if I can figure out what is going on.

Best,

I had this same error and I noticed it seemed to be missing librsvg-2.so.2. So I cloned the repo, and added a couple libraries to the dockerfile and rebuilt the docker image which fixed the issue. I think I was searching around for similar errors and came across this one. I added librsvg2-2, libglib2.0-dev, libexpat1-dev, but they might not all be needed.

Thanks @Gibbsdavidl! Would you be willing to submit your updated Dockerfile in a pull request? That way the issue will be resolved and you'll be credited for the fix :)

Best,
