"Could not find gtk_source_map in libgtksourceview" in Linux

I'm opening this issue here though @jonathanBieler's fork seems more active, since Github doesn't allow Issues on forks.

I changed the code to find libgtksourceview's path on Linxu too (this commit), which made the original "libgtksourceview-3.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error at line 43 go away.

But in its place, an error occurs now at line 290 of GtkSourceWidget.jl, stating "LoadError: Could not find gtk_source_map in libgtksourceview. This is likely a issue with a missing Gtk.jl version check." The 'version check' suggestion seems a general suggestion whenever @Gtype fails, and so I'm not sure if it's relevant here - since all the other @Gtype calls before that line work without throwing this error.

So I'm wondering if there's a genuine version incompatibility or something here, or just a matter of the code having gotten outpaced and hence encountering such errors on Mac OSX/Windows too.

Hi, I have not seen that for fork but as I am not having time working on this currently, it would be great if @jonathanBieler could take over maintainership. Not sure how to realize this though.

FWIW, it appears there's a quite easy way of enabling Issues in forks, if @jonathanBieler wishes to.

And to remove the "forked from tknopp/GtkSourceWidget.jl" line at the top in that repo (to avoid ambiguity in users about which one is maintained), it seems Github Support has to be contacted, but they're apparently quite active in responding and fixing it.

Both of these depend on what @jonathanBieler decides to do though. Thanks @tknopp for responding so quickly, despite not being able to continue maintaining this.

[tknopp]

Yes, and additionally we could switch the repository in METADATA.jl

[jonathanBieler]

Hey, I've enabled the issues on my fork, you can transfer the repo to me if that's more convenient for you. That said I'm not a Gtk expert, and my Julia is a bit primitive.

For the actual issue it looks like a version problem, GtkSourceMap in a recent feature of GtkSourceView, so you probably have an older version.

[tknopp]

Hm. Tried to transfer but this did not work since you already have a fork.
Ideally all these Gtk related projects should be in its own organization so that several people can contribute. Originally I wanted to add this code to Gtk.jl itself but Jameson had objections and wanted it in its own package.
