When i`m trying to enable webhelper i`ve got "Aborted" message:

Wired... Could you run Geany in a debugger and post the backtrace please?

I cannot because of:
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Cannot find new threads: generic error
Can I provide needed information by other way?
Explicitely initialize threads upon WebHelper loading
Sorry for the delay,
It seems that some versions of GDB (read: I had the same problem but not anymore) have problems with applications using libpthread... I found on the web [1] a proposed workaround that consist on adding libpthread as a LD_PRELOAD library, does this work for you? e.g.:
LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libpthread.so.0 gdb geany
Anyway, can you try the attached patch? It's only a guess on the possible problem, so a backtrace will still be helpful, but if it was the fix...

Can you post a backtrace from the debugger right after the abortion? Use GDB's "bt" command.
Wired for the patch, it applies perfectly well for me on trunk... have you properly patched using -p1 from the repository root?

Patch doesn`t help :(
Really weird, looks like webkit_web_view() leads to an abortion...
Well, do you use the latest SVN revision? The line numbers seem strange (at gwh-browser:771 it's not gwh_browser_init(), and it neither calls webkit_web_view_new()), though sometimes it's the compiler's optimizations that does this kind of thinks.
I attach a small test program that uses WebKit, could you test it? If it crashes too, the bug must be somewhere else... what OS/version do you use?

Small WebKit test program, with thread initialization
Looks like a threading problem, but what?… could you try the second attached test program? (notice the additional package gthread-2.0 build with)
It works! (it opens an empty window ;) ).
But plugins configured and compiled with enabled environment flags:
WEBHELPER_CFLAGS="gtk+-2.0 gthread-2.0 webkit-1.0"
GEANY_CFLAGS="gtk+-2.0 gthread-2.0 webkit-1.0"
Produces same error
Even with the 0001-Webhelper-initialize-threads.patch patch applied? This patch should do exactly the same thing that I did in webkittest2, so it *should* work, but maybe there's something else involved...
Ok, i did, everything from scratch (download, patch, compile,install) and seems to be everything fine now. Thank you for help - i think that`s was a reason that webhelper wasn`t enabled on rpmforge el6 packages.
Great! I'll then apply the patch on the SVN repository, thank you for the report and followup!
