Mint Linux 21 (Ubuntu 22) libwebkitgtk

Post by matty47 »

Not really a bug , just an annoyance, and a resolution.
I recently installed Mint Linux 21 and installed Hollywood. When running the 3d cube demo I received an error message that libwebkitgtk-3.0.so was not found. The rapagui module caused this failure according to the message. The demo still ran.
When I tried to install libwebkitgtk3 I found that it was unavailable for this version of linux.
Eventually I created a symbolic link for this library to the installed libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.56.12 (isn't that numbering great!)and this this solved the problem. Not sure if this would be a problem for any distributed programs that uses rapagui.
Hope this may help someone.

That's the reason why RapaGUI comes in two flavours: One that uses libwebkitgtk and one that doesn't. So an easier solution might be to just use the RapaGUI binary that was built without libwebkitgtk support ;)
