Hi Linicks,
I hate to seem like I'm piling on top of the obvious troll in the other reply, but I would like to say that it would have been good if you had updated your node to reflect that you'd solved the issue, to prevent people from unnecessarily expending their time. In any case, I'm glad you figured it out - perhaps you could post the solution, i.e. which package exactly you had to install?

The first reply states which package is required, as does the message generated by cpan which they posted. Unsurprisingly this is also detailed in the module documentation. Regardless of which tool you're using, if you don't known what you're doing or how to use it, the first port of call should always be the documentation.

Hi marto,

Having not worked with Slackware or Gtk2::WebKit I admit I'm at a bit of a disadvantage here, but I imagine I'm not the only one. I can't seem to find a Slackware package named something like "webkit-1.0", and I was assuming that when Linicks wrote "I have obviously done a lot of googling, but that reveals for the above issue is all to do with the debian/ubuntu 'apt-get' this and apt-get that etc." he was in the same situation. But of course I might be missing something?
Unsurprisingly this is also detailed in the module documentation.
There appears to be a 1.x and a 2.x series of releases of WebKit, which I'd have to guess might not be compatible with one another, so it's unclear to me if I wanted to build WebKit from source for use with Gtk2::WebKit whether I'd have to download an old 1.x release. I have not yet found any mention of this in the Gtk2::WebKit documentation, which I did have a look at before first posting in this thread. Which detailed documentation are you referring to?
Not only do I think that asking the OP for what solution they ended up using is a pretty normal thing, I'm genuinely curious which exact version of which package(s) Linicks installed to get it working. I feel the thread has been lacking that specificity so far.

Why don't you read what people have already told you? You got told this wasn't a perl module by 3 people before this! | [reply] |
