Error in converting Markdown to PDF: cannot load library 'gobject-2.0-0': dlopen(gobject-2.0-0, 0x0002): tried: 'gobject-2.0-0' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OSgobject-2.0-0' (no such file), '/Users/he_muling/miniconda3/envs/researcher/bin/../lib/gobject-2.0-0' (no such file), '/usr/lib/gobject-2.0-0' (no such file, not in dyld cache), 'gobject-2.0-0' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/gobject-2.0-0' (no such file), '/usr/lib/gobject-2.0-0' (no such file, not in dyld cache).

however, i have already installed glib using homebrew, check with pkg-config --cflags --libs gobject-2.0 return:

-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/glib/2.80.2/include -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/glib/2.80.2/include/glib-2.0 -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/glib/2.80.2/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/opt/homebrew/opt/gettext/include -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/pcre2/10.43/include -I/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.sdk/usr/include/ffi -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/glib/2.80.2/lib -L/opt/homebrew/opt/gettext/lib -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl

i have followed https://doc.courtbouillon.org/weasyprint/stable/first_steps.html#installation instruction and install with homebrew, the issue persists

also, i noticed that copy button only copies the content while format of markdown is not included, e.g.:

• lack of #
• lack of url, nature not [nature](url)

system info:

• using conda to manage env
• running on: macos 14.5 (23F79)

Hey @HeMuling,

You might have an easier path via Docker Desktop:

Step 1: Install Docker Desktop

Step 2: Walk through this Tutorial

Another requirement I should have mentioned in that video: the path to your files should be within the code of this project. That will enable you to skip the complexity of mounting stuff into Docker

If you are using conda environment on Windows, make sure you have GTK3 installed before you install the rest of the requirements:

conda install -c conda-forge gtk3
