wxPython 2.9.3.1 WebView on Ubuntu 12.04

Hi Robin

I just had some troubles getting the wx.WebView to work on Ubuntu 12.04:

    WARNING: webkit headers not found; disabling webkit backend

After some investigation I realised that the include path for libwebviewgtk changed between 11.10 and 12.04:

12.04 /usr/include/webkitgtk-1.0/
11.10 /usr/include/webkit-1.0/

Adding a symbolic link fixed it:

    sudo ln -s /usr/include/webkitgtk-1.0 /usr/include/webkit-1.0
As this is rather a wxWidgets than a wxPython issue we probably should report that upstream. Do you or do I?

Regards
Uli

Have you tried with 2.9.4.1? You may also want to check with the latest 2.9.5 preview tarball or with SVN trunk to see if it's been fixed already. I've not heard of this problem before so I expect that it has been fixed. If not then go ahead and submit a ticket at trac.wxwidgets.org

Your message was flagged for moderation since it was the first time you posted to this list from that address. I probably approved your 1st message at about the same time that you were sending the 2nd one.
