Creating LaTeX PDF reports that contain vector graphics in SVG format require the svg package, which in turn uses Inkscape. Thus, I'd be glad if Inkscape could be installed as a system package.

As #275 seems not to get merged, an alternative is to use the rsvg R package. Its dependency librsvg has already been merged (#43).

Here's an example Rmd:
