Just install X (but dont start it) and then run the calibre install command.

But, I dont want to discourage you, feel free to work on a solution that suits your needs.
I tried this. Apparently I did it wrong. If I can get it to work then, well, that'd kill the Janus project pretty effectively. (And I don't have a problem with that.)

I've got Natty 11.04 running on EC2, so I installed xvfb (mentioned in another thread) and then I installed using the python installer. When I tried to run calibre-server I got unsatisfied link exceptions. I saw the same problem in another thread but none of the fixes worked for me.
