Hi Bernd,
You're right the xml's on the repo do point to non-existent folders.
I've added a FGDC folder to the repo with the correct folder
structure. Copy that folder (FGDC) into one of QGIS svg path
folders and you can then use the xml files to import the svg
symbols.
Cheers,
Benoit
Hi Benoit,
sorry for the confusion. I specifically refer to your answer and the linked project. There is a svg-folder and a folder with the xml-files from the download.
Setting the path to the svg-folder and then importing the xml is simply not successful.
As you refered to this project, I assumed that you successfully imported those styles.
Cheers,
Bernd

Hi Bernd,
Thanks for your comments. It seems I've misread Byron's problem and assumed that his library is wrapped up into an xml file!
In order to use the solution I've provided you need to have an xml "library" file describing the .svg files.
Then you point Settings -> Style Manager... -> Import/Export -> Import Item(s)... to the xml file not the svg files.
@Byron, open one of your svg files with a text editor. Does the first line starts with "<svg" or is it '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>'?
If not you probably have downloaded html files embedding svg images!Cheers,
Benoit

This is "normal" behaviour, so just say "overwrite"Hi Benoit,
I just tried to import the symbols from the page you mentioned which leads to this repository: https://github.com/BC-Consulting/FGDC-4-QGIS/
Now, even with all explanations given, the import seems not to work properly.
no matter what path I add for the FDGC folder (just the .../FDGC or the .../FDGC/svg path) , on import, it says, that
- the symbols are already there and gives the option to overwrite or skip,
- the option to add comma-separted tags (e.g. Geology) does not work, and no tag at all is given
- all symbols are just question marks
Are those guidelines just precisely unprecise, or am I just to dumb to understand whats asked from me?
Cheers
Bernd
