This is a call for help to anyone interested in OpenGuides or just feeling randomly helpful.
A long time ago I wrote a thing to map an OpenGuide in SVG. It was cute. Since then I've swapped laptops and so I no longer have a browser that can display SVG. I would like to do more cute things with SVG, but I'm not going to get around to it unless I can actually see what I'm doing.
So what I want from someone out there is foolproof instructions for viewing SVG in a browser - any browser that I don't have to pay for - on OS X.
Thank you, sleep well, drink tea.

Conveniently, those nice, evil folks at Adobe have done just this for you.
http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html
Though actually, that's more of a "click on it in a browser and have it launch their SVG viewer app."
Does that do what you mean?

Ooh. That sounds like a brilliant idea.

You're underestimating my foolishness. I went there, I clicked on "Mac 10.1", it put something called "SVGViewCarbon" in my Desktop folder, I double-clicked on that, a window popped up saying "Copying... [much random shit]" and then disappeared. Then I went to
http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/svgtest.html
and I got a popup saying 'The page "Scalable Vector Graphics" has content of MIME type "". You do not have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, so this content can not be displayed.'
I have grown out of enjoying fucking about with my OS; now I just want to be told how to make my tools not suck.

Any chance that you would have your boot partition set up as UFS? If so, you're screwed. Adobe's SVG viewer (and in fact, a number of Adobe apps) are too fuckwitted to be able to load on UFS.
How much of SVG do you need for your maps?

It seems to be case-insensitive. That means HFS+, as far as I can tell.

I used SVG::Plot last time. Does that answer the question?

Hm. Rebooted since the install?

Even *I* was underestimating my foolishness.

However what I didn't do was restart Safari. Jerakeen suggested I do that. I did. It works now. Thank you everyone!
