I was going to upgrade the Calibre version in my work computer (Mandriva 2008) and got a new error:

Code:

Extracting application files...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/init.py", line 43, in <module>
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
  File "ExtensionLoader_PyQt4_QtGui.py", line 12, in <module>
ImportError: /lib/i686/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /usr/local/calibre/libxml2.so.2)

I had already compiled libjpeg locally to work around a similar problem, now I have to do the same with libxml2? And what else? I cannot compile Calibre itself because I don't have python 2.6 (only 2.5)... I'm sorry but this is starting to be too much for me.

I understand that is the price to pay if one wishes cutting edge applications, though
