I am trying to render some Latex text in Inkscape on Windows, but I keep getting the error 

Problem during opening C:\Program Files\pstoedit\drvmagick.dll:
Unable to find the specified module.

I have already installed pstoedit and the file drvmagick.dll is exactly in that directory (which I also added to the PATH).

  • I never knew that you can somehow compile LaTeX code »in« Inkscape. Could you describe detailed, what you are trying to do? – Keks Dose Feb 07 '16 at 15:13
  • Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

    I am trying to insert latex text in inkscape and I know that on Linux there is available the option Extension -> Render -> Latex which allows you to complile some code and get a vector element as output. Unfortunately I do not have a Linux system available now...

So basically you are seeing this error while trying to use laTeX to add a formula or text to your drawing. as explained in this page you go to Extensions->Render->LaTeX. but the same error happened on windows 10 and Inkscape 0.92:

Doing some search I found this post in Inkscape forums. There several possible soloutions have been proposed, but the one which worked for me was to delete the faulty file:

drvmagick.dll

and it now works just fine.
