loader problem with old Ubuntu Hardy

Hi,

I have read that 0.6.17 work with this old Ubuntu Hardy, but I dont find it; so I have installed the oldest I found on sourceforge, the 0.6.18.


sudo LD_DEBUG=libs /opt/calibre/calibre-debug -c "print 1" 2>&1 | less
give me this error :

/opt/calibre/loader: 2: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
I unzip loader.zip : same error

I also installed python-lxml_2.1.1-2.1_i386.deb but I have the same error.

Can you help me ?

that's a little too old, for anyone to remember. I'd suggest instead trying the newer version. You will need a version of glibc >= 2.10, you can either compile it yourself or google for a precompiled one for Hardy and put it into /opt/calibre/libs

Many thanks for your answer.
I was surely a little tired by the end of years festivities
Its not Hardy, but Intrepid...

Compile last sources need Python 2.6, I have only 2.4 and 2.5 and dont find any .deb calibre working on Intrepid on the net.

Do as Kovid suggests then try a binary install as described here or vice-a-versa.

I think that Intrepid is too old to run the binary installer. If intrepid was built from Debian Sarge or Lenny, then it certainly is.

At one point I tried to get calibre running on Lenny. I succeeded in getting the content server to run. My guess is that the GUI could have run after installing and configuring the rest of X, but I never tried it as my machine is headless. Some short documentation on what I did is here. Note that setting up a chrooted jail is not your run-of-the-mill configuration chore. If you are not comfortable with the command line and system administration, I suggest you don't attempt it.

However, all would be much easier if you upgraded.

@dwanthny :
Thanks, but of course I have try to install last binary, it dont work, so I try :
Quote:
Note

* You need GLIBC 2.10 or higher to run versions greater than 0.6.29. If you receive an error about GLIBC you can downgrade to an older version by getting the .tar.bz2 file for your architecture (32bit or 64bit) from sourceforge. Then delete the contents of /opt/calibre and extract the downloaded .tar.bz2 file into /opt/calibre.
...
.
And got the error in my first post above


Compiling need :
Quote:
Source install

1. Make sure your system has python ≥ 2.6
...
read my second post above.
(And the current binary version "speak" about Python 2.7)


@chaley
Thanks, but your "chrooted" solution is very complicated, not flexible.

Sure, one "easy"solution is to upgrade Intrepid, but its not so simple, I have many softwares, some of them are not in standard packages, this migration need many, many hours and must be done on 3 computers


[sorry, my English is very bad]

Well, my guess is that with your constraints, you won't be able use calibre.

The continuation :

Now calibre seem to work till 6.29 version

6.30 dont work, because it requires glibc 2.9 (Intrepid uses, on my computer, glibc 2.8).

Quote:
ImportError: (ImportError("/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.9' not found (required by /opt/calibre/libQtCore.so.4)",), <built-in function _unpickle_enum>, ('PyQt4.QtCore', 'SortOrder', 1))
OK I install Glibc 2.9 from here :

http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/

This installation need to repair my old libc6 (with glibc 2.8) broken.

And now calibre 6.3 dont ask for glibc 2.9, but for glibc 2.10 :

Quote:
...
ImportError: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.10' not found (required by /opt/calibre/libQtNetwork.so.4)
Hi, hi, hi...

Since 1979 I never get bored anymore, I use, work with computers
