[Elecraft] KX3util error on Linux Mint 19.3 64 bit.

[Dave B]

Hi.

Decided to update the KX3.  (Having also just updated the XG3Util
software, and found that device was up-to-date.)

Downloaded the current kx3util software (Linux x86 version) from the
Elecraft site, and got that "installed" such as it is.

Comm's established with the radio via genuine Elecraft lead, firmware
duly identified, new (current) versions of MCU and DSP pulled down from
Elecraft OK, and programmed into the radio, all OK.

As I have had some minor transmit issues in the past, I then backed up
it's existing configuration, and proceeded to the Transmit calibration tab.

Clicking on "next", nothing, nada, zilch.  No error messages in the
underlying terminal screen I launched it from either.

Clicked on "Help" and ...

"The GtkHTML library required by the HTML Help Viewer is not installed."
is shown.

When OK is clicked, back to the calibration dialog display.

Tried the Help button, nothing, except in the underlying Terminal session:-

Could not load libWebKit
Could not load libGtkHTML

is shown.  ( Hmmm... WebKit, isn't that some proprietary Apple thing? )

Anyway, the only button there that does anything is the "Cancel" button.

So, where to next!

I have presently mislaid the user manual by-the-way, and I had odd
errors attempting to pull a version from Elecraft with FireFox.

Any suggestions welcome.  Oh, anyone who tells me to update to Mint 20,
will be shot!  That isn't going to happen yet a while.

73.

Dave G8KBV.
