[webkit-gtk] webkit-1.0 not found when called from webkit-sharp

[Jacek Rużyczka]

Hi folks,

after upgrading my PC to openSuSE 12.3 (64bit), my C# app using a WebKit
browser widget inside a Gtk# window simply stopped working. Calling this
line of code…

overviewBrowser = new WebView();

…results in the following error message:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown
by the target of an invocation. ---> System.TypeInitializationException:
An exception was thrown by the type initializer for WebKit.WebView --->
System.DllNotFoundException: webkit-1.0

These are the WebKit-related RPMs currently installed:

jacek at veteran:~> rpm -qa | grep webkit
webkit-jsc-3-1.10.2-3.2.1.x86_64
kwebkitpart-1.3.1-2.1.1.x86_64
libwebkitgtk-3_0-0-1.10.2-3.2.1.x86_64
libwebkitgtk3-devel-1.10.2-3.2.1.x86_64
libproxy1-pacrunner-webkit-0.4.11-2.1.1.x86_64

libwebkitgtk3-lang-1.10.2-3.2.1.noarch
libwebkit2gtk-3_0-18-1.10.2-3.2.1.x86_64

Supposedly, webkit-sharp calls WebKitGtk, which in turn doesn't find the
native lib. Or is there anything wrong with my installtion?

Thank you for any useful hints.

Kind regards
