gif is a patented non-supported format within SVG. SVG only officially supports jpeg and png raster images. While Adobe SVG viewer supports static SVG, this is non-standard and not supported by other SVG viewers and not part of the SVG specification. I don't know your exact problem, but most animated gifs are very simple and can easily be converted to SVG+SMIL in a texteditor. As to my knowledge there is no automatic animated gif to animated svg product/project available. However, there are vectorization tools available that can convert raster to vector data. Are you talking about converting just one or two animated gifs to svg or a whole bunch of them?
