More WebGL

I haven't had much luck at 64 or 32 bit Firefox or even Chrome with a simple demo. I am doing Safari WebKit now and I will see how that goes. It looks like a large project to compile from source and I don't even know if it works at all for Linux, as I haven't used Safari, as far as I remember. It is a Mac tool and this is just for the h2l of it. I understand that konqueror and Safari share a common tool set and I wonder what the relationship is? Hmmm Well here we go, if it looks like a cliff, dive off it....

I start download from here then in the unpacked directory :
./autogen.sh
OOPs.
You need the 'bison' parser generator to compile WebKit
sudo apt-get install bison
AGAIN:
./autogen.sh
OOPs.
You need the 'flex' lexer generator to compile WebKit
sudo apt-get install flex
AND AGAIN!:
./autogen.sh
Oh Snap! ( as Google says.)
You need the 'gperf' hash function generator to compile WebKit
sudo apt-get install gperf
AND STILL AGAIN!:
./autogen.sh
"I want to be a source code changer, I want to live a life of danger.","I want to be an Airborne Ranger, I want to live a live of danger", Oh sorry, musical break.
I am wanting to use some stronger language, but I will refrain.

checking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.21.3
                  gobject-2.0 >= 2.0
                  gthread-2.0 >= 2.0) were not met:

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.21.3' but version of GLib is 2.16.6

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Sooooo.... Sub task started
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glib/2.21/
./configure
Yea! success.
make
ASIDE: If this fails I am going to get cranky. It looks to me to be about 5 minutes compile time.I may even utter a mock expletive.
Yea! success.
sudo make install
Yea! success.
Now back up the tree to the rich luscious fruit that I forgot what I was intending to do with.

Oh yeah, WebGL
AGAIN:

Hmmm if I was moteyalpha, I would suspect that there was recursion going on. Oh right I am. A circular dependency between libgnomecanvas and libgail results in a continual recursion to identify until all file handles are consumed. Just my opinion, and I will soon find out. I deleted the circular reference in gail.pc and Voila!

./configure
No package 'libsoup-2.4' found
Oh my, will it end?
Excuse me?
Requested 'libsoup-2.4 >= 2.28.2' but version of libsoup is 2.4.1
I'll fix that bad logic in configure.ac <chuckle>
ADDED:
I am not sure I made the right choice here, I wonder about the naming conventions and I think in retrospect that 2.28 is a newer version than 2.4, but I was in a hurry.
Here is a link and I most definitely f4d that up. http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libsoup/ EEK! it completed!

So now it must be tested.
make 7:53 and done
I know many things and now I know more. I have to consider what this means.
