A pre-requisite for running codelite is WebKitGTK. 

codelite: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm on CentOS, so installing this is trivial.

# yum install webkitgtk.x86_64

This installs the library, but it does not install the file called libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 And that is my problem. How do you get libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 installed?

I've run updatedb and locate libwebkit and that shows me this:

/usr/lib64/libwebkit-1.0.so.2
/usr/lib64/libwebkit-1.0.so.2.17.8

My machine is 64-bit.

What am I missing? I want to get this file installed: libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0

  • Did you find a way to do it? I'm trying to install Rainlendar on RHEL 7 and I get the same error. – AsGoodAsItGets Dec 09 '15 at 10:54
  • Back then, I put it down and did went a different direction -- However, I'm now on Fedora 23 and it has this missing module already installed. `dnf provides libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0` shows webkitgtk-2.4.9-3.fc23.i686 – 101010 Dec 10 '15 at 12:53
  • try install webkitgtk2 – mlibre Mar 16 '17 at 04:11

Almost all package managers have a subcommand that searches for files. RPM-based distros all have rpm -q --whatprovides <neededfile>, and yum has the slightly shorter yum whatprovides <neededfile>. Just do

yum whatprovides libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0

and yum install the package that provides it.
