Hi marto,

The first reply states which package is required, as does the message generated by cpan which they posted.

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.

Regards,
