Hi Developers,
I am using VESTA for long time. At present I am using fedora 43 (gnome 49).
Both the source and rpm is giving problem.

from source, error is missing library:
./VESTA
./VESTA-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

(Solution: Fedora is using libwebkit2gtk-4.1)

in rpm,
fedora package doesnt verify no digest

kindly check.

Fedora 43 is just a beta version and there will always be some strange bugs. It is recommended to consider experiencing this version after the official release.

For source, one solution is manually creating a soft link: (this method is also suitable for RHEL10 and Ubuntu)

```
cd /usr/lib64
sudo ln -s libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0.17.8 libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37
```

The same with "libjavascriptcoregtk".
