I am getting SIGABRT or segfault when i try to start the appimage on fedora 42 on various versions.

segfault:

./webos-dev-manager_1.99.16_amd64.AppImage 
Cannot get default EGL display: EGL_SUCCESS
Cannot create EGL context: invalid display (last error: EGL_SUCCESS)
Minnesegmentsfeil (kjerne lagret i fil)

abort:

./webos-dev-manager_1.99.5_amd64.AppImage 
Could not create surfaceless EGL display: EGL_BAD_ALLOC. Aborting...
Avbrutt (SIGABRT) (kjerne lagret i fil)

If i try to install the rpm package i get errors about missing zlib:

sudo dnf install ./webos-dev-manager-1.99.13-1.x86_64.rpm
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Failed to resolve the transaction:
Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides zlib (>=1.2.11) needed by webos-dev-manager-1.99.13-1.x86_64 from @commandline
You can try to add to command line:
  --skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages```

The manager operates from the DEB package in Kubuntu 25.04. The program is installed without a shortcut and can be started from the installer.

You can just use

sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps ./*path to the rpm file*

that combined with sparately installing webkit2gtk4.1-devel seems to have done the trick! haven't tried to actually use the software yet though, but at least it installs and opens.

WebOS Dev Manager works in Fedora KDE (webos-dev-manager_1.99.16_amd64.AppImage).
