It's weird, it should work :-( ... I assume you have dvisvgm installed
in your TeX Live installation, is that right? (You can excute something
like 'dvisvgm --help' in your terminal)

What is your SO?

Anyway, you can try the imagemagick option:

(setq luamagick
        '(luamagick
          :programs ("lualatex" "convert")
          :description "pdf > png"
          :message "you need to install lualatex and imagemagick."
          :use-xcolor t
          :image-input-type "pdf"
          :image-output-type "png"
          :image-size-adjust (1.0 . 1.0)
          :latex-compiler ("lualatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory 
%o %f")
          :image-converter ("convert -density %D -trim -antialias %f -quality 
100 %O")))
  (add-to-list 'org-preview-latex-process-alist luamagick)

(setq org-preview-latex-default-process 'luamagick)
