calibre install fails on Ubuntu hardy
Hi Kovid, I already installed the windows version at work, and it looks useful (I have some idea/request/bug tickets that I'll file later).
However, when I tried installing at home on a Ubuntu hardy box, using the method on http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download_ubuntu
(which I do realise is titled "Ubuntu Interpid Ibex" <-- sp? "Intrepid" surely!), it barfed as follows on the last step:
Code:
$ sudo calibre_postinstall
Trying to setup udev rules...
 * Restarting Hardware abstraction layer hald                                                                                          [ OK ] 
Setting up bash completion... failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/calibre/linux.py", line 168, in setup_completion

  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/calibre/linux.py", line 304, in setup_completion
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'manifest' referenced before assignment
Before digging into anything myself, I'm wondering if this is simply a "hardy" vs "intrepid" problem (in which case I guess I'll just have to upgrade sooner rather than later), or some other problem with a known solution?

I've had the same problem, and my version of python is 2.5.2.

~$ sudo calibre_postinstall

I run Ubuntu Hardy. Maybe I'll just wait the release of Ibex.

Thanks, I'll either upgrade python-lxml or hardy->intrepid when I get home.

I updated python-lxml but the latest Hardy version is 1.3.6.1 so I'll wait and install Ibex.

Thanks, kovid!

I have intrepid and have python-lxml installed. I am getting the same error as the OP, however.
As far as I can see version: 2.1.1-1 of python-lxml is installed.
Any ideas?

no that error indicates you're missing libunrar.so

Ah, yeah, sorry, you are right.
Unfortunately it is not installed when I install unrar.

Anyone know how to get libunrar.so on Ubuntu Intrepid?

I'm wondering how I got it. I have Intrepid. It was an upgrade from Hardy, but I didn't install unrar and still don't have it installed (at least according to synaptic.)

kovidgoyal, do you happen to know how I check to be sure I have it or not? I did a file system search for "libunrar" and only found an item inside Calibre downloaded materials.

just upgrade to 105, libunrar should now be an optional dependency

Ok, great, that solved my original problem. Thanks a lot for the VERY fast fix!

However when I start calibre, I am asked to choose the directory for my books. I choose the directory that I created with calibre in Windows and which contains some books.
Unfortunately, I get this error:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/calibre", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('calibre==0.4.105', 'gui_scripts', 'calibre')()

  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/calibre/library/sqlite.py", line 106, in run

What could that be?

Does that directory have a library1.db file? Or is there a library1.db file elsewhere on your computer?
