[webkit-dev] checking for LIBSOUP... configure: error: Package requirements (libsoup-2.4 >= 2.23) were not met:

[David Kilzer]

That's a horrible package name.  :(   Is "2.4" is the "so" version or what?

Do all Linux (or *NIX) distributions name libsoup that way?  It doesn't appear that Debian packages it this way:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libsoup

Is libsoup-2.4 older or newer than libsoup-2.23?

Dave

Hey,

this is actually wrong I'm afraid. The API name is 'libsoup-2.4' which
is arguably a bad idea on the side of the library author. The actual
version is something else, in this case 2.23. Pay attention to the
actual release version when looking for a more recent package.

ciao,
