Error in producing venn diagrams using nVennR

I am hoping to create a complex Venn Diagram with my own data in R using the nVennR package created by Pérez-Silva et al. 2018. I am running the sample code in this vignette.

When I run the sample code, R shows a warning message: 

The figure cannot be rendered in the plot window. Please, use the arguments outFile and/or systemShow.

After setting the systemShow argument to TRUE, Chrome attempts to open the SVG file and displays the following error:

error on line 74 at column 45: Namespace prefix xlink for href on use is not defined.

Not sure why I'm unable to generate an image using the code provided!

After installing the rsvg and grImport2 packages, the plot should be displayed as in the vignette:

plotVenn(list(SAS=sas, PYTHON=python, R=rr), nCycles = 2000)

If you want to view the plot in a web browser, save it to a file

plotVenn(list(SAS=sas, PYTHON=python, R=rr), nCycles = 2000, outFile="a.svg")

and change the first line

<svg width="700" height="500">

to

<svg width="700" height="500" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

The file can be viewed in SVG editors such as Inkscape without modification.
