 Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2013 7:59 am Post subject: [SOLVED] where to get libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 |
 |
|
Hi,
I want to use rainlendar with my current gentoo installation.
i tried to use the one from the bgo-overlay, but the ebuild seems to be broke (0kB download).
so i switched to the Rainlendar 2.12 beta 132 from here: http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=42&func=view&catid=7&id=19573#19573
after unpacking to /usr/lib/rainlendar2 and trying to start, the only problem left seems to be the missing lib
| Code: | | libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 |
but the only libwebkit library available in portage seems to be
| Code: | | libwebkitgtk-3.0.so |
| Quote: | miPC ~ # ls -l /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jul 11 09:21 /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-3.0.so -> libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0.13.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jul 11 09:21 /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0 -> libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0.13.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25856168 Jul 11 09:21 /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0.13.4 |
can anyone tell me, where to get that specific version of the lib?
thanks

HI,
Usually libraries are back-compatible, before trying to install an old version of a library try to use the library you have already installed on your machine.
You can do this by creating a symbol link between the library you have already installed and the version you need. For instance :
| Code: |
ln -s libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0.13.4 libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0

thought this was not generally true due to interface changes between releases (e. g. gtk 3x, gtk 2x)?
anyway, in this case it worked. just 5 other libs that can not be found, even though they are present -.- |

Yes, you 're right for major releases ( i.e. gtk2 to gtk3 ) but for small releases ( from 2.x to 2.y) the interface usually is the same.

However, you cannot be sure that this method worked out until you compile the code.
What are those libraries?
Have you tried to look them up in the overlays with eix -R ?

webkit 2.0.3, when compiled with --with-gtk=2.0, provides /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 -> libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.18.8
So it's nicely backwards-compatible, in complete contrast to the usual let's-break-API-because-we-can Linux library version mess  |

just to get it right: to compile it with gtk-2 support, i have to compile it by hand; besides portage?
or how do i pass that gtk2-usage- option to the package for emerge? |

I think installing net-libs/webkit-gtk:2 will be enough for you. |
