Does any one know where I can get this library: libQtWebKit.so.4

When trying to launch Clipgrab I now get the following error:

$ /home/pst007x/Applications/ClipGrab/clipgrab-3.6.1
/home/pst007x/Applications/ClipGrab/clipgrab-3.6.1: error while loading shared libraries: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit

You can get it by installing libqtwebkit4:

sudo apt install libqtwebkit4

To figure out which package provides a particular file, you can use apt-file (install it by running sudo apt install apt-file). For the case of libQtWebKit.so.4:

$ apt-file search libQtWebKit.so.4
libqtwebkit4: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4
libqtwebkit4: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4.10
libqtwebkit4: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4.10.2

If you prefer to use a web browser, go to http://packages.ubuntu.com, search for libQtWebKit.so.4 in "Search the contents of packages" and you will get:

File                                            Packages
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4     libqtwebkit4 [arm64]
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQtWebKit.so.4   libqtwebkit4 [armhf]
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4        libqtwebkit4 [i386]
/usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4     libqtwebkit4 [powerpc]
/usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4 libqtwebkit4 [ppc64el]
/usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4       libqtwebkit4 [s390x]
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4      libqtwebkit4 [amd64]

    If you are required to use Vidyo for video conferencing, you also need to install libqtwebkit4 which is not mentioned on their help site. Thanks for providing this fix!

    Confirmed that sudo apt-get install libqtwebkit4 also works in 18.04, 64 bit.

    libqtwebkit4 is no longer available in Ubuntu 20.04.

  • I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 and I can't find this packet. :-( Dec 20, 2022 at 17:26
  • This tutorial gives alternative repositories for latest Ubuntu versions: ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/07/install-qt4-ubuntu-20-04
