I was able to resolve this issue on Ubuntu 24 LTS with: sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

Hope this may be of some help.

I would recommend using flatpak to install this on non-debian systems. I use an offshoot of Ubuntu and installed with flatpak, and it also installed the needed dependencies.

  1. Install flatpak
    sudo apt install -y flatpak
    sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

  2. Install bookworm
    flatpak install bookworm

Thanks @agilous and @LuckyLuc96. Hopefully the workarounds you have suggested have allowed bookworm to run on kali Linux. Please reopen if the issue still persists. I'm upgrading bookworm to GTK4 so hopefully it will be a better experience
