Geert,

   Slackware does not do separate dev packages. Everything's in each library
package.

   Now there's a thought.

   I just checked and both webkitgtk and libwebp have newer versions than
what's on the SBo repository. I had not checked; assumed the maintainers
were up to date.

   I will now build and install libwebp, webkitgtk, and gnucash-2.6.17 and
will report the results.

   Thanks for catching this, Geert.

More later,
