[Question] webKit dependencies available for fedora 36 ?

I tried running below simple python code on webKit on OS: fedora version: 36 (latest)

def run(playwright: Playwright) -> None:
    browser = playwright.webkit.launch(headless=False)
    context = browser.new_context()
    page = context.new_page()
    page.goto("https://www.amazon.in/")
    print(page.title())
    # ---------------------
    context.close()
    browser.close()
with sync_playwright() as playwright:
    run(playwright)

Initially I get below error ->

 Missing libraries:                                   
     libpcre.so.3                                     
     libicui18n.so.66                                
     libicuuc.so.66                                  
     libjpeg.so.8                                    
     libwebp.so.6                                    
     libffi.so.7                            
     libx264.so  

So I created symblinks for all above mentioned dependencies like libpcre.so.3 -> libpcre.so file present in my system as mentioned in one of the solution. But after that I’m getting another error ->

Is there a workaround to use webkit with playwright on fedora OS?

I’m doing separate testing for Arch Linux and I noticed the following with Webkit:

~/Development/Playwright is 📦 v1.0.0 via  v16.15.0 took 21s ❯ npx playwright test --project=webkit

Running 25 tests using 2 workers

Thought I would let you know has playwright support continues to grow.
