How to reproduce

Run appimage
Get error

Actual results

./OrcaSlicer_Linux_V1.9.1.AppImage /tmp/.mount_OrcaSlKbla0c/bin/orca-slicer: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Expected results

I would guess the appimage packages all required libraries along with the application binary.

I guess the lib version numbering is different, I do have libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0.12.8 on my system, but it expects libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37. And the point of the AppImage is to not rely on system libraries even if they would exist, but package the correct versions of dependencies with the binary, I guess.

Project file & Debug log uploads

not relevant as the app does not even run.

FYI to any of the Fedora or other distro folks having difficulty with launching Orca app image, go ahead and try last night's Jan 22 v2.0.0 dev image from the nightly builds-- WORKS FANTASTIC!!!

Same problem on my Fedora 39 even on v2.0.0 beta. I tried cleanup .local and .config but its still same problem. Just blank setup wizard. No problem with Prusa slicer app image.

Tried the OrcaSlicer_Linux_V2.0.0-beta.AppImage on Arch Linux, fails to start with:

/tmp/.mount_OrcaSlTwTZnd/bin/orca-slicer: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However you can install webkit2gtk (pacman -S webkit2gtk) and it then works. Still that should be bundled in the AppImage as there can be many different incompatible versions of that library I believe.
