Problem in Installing Calibre in ubuntu 11.10

[yogesh605]

Hi,

I downloaded Source code of Calibre and trying to install Calibre using

"python setup.py development"

and I am getting following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

please help me to solve this error...

Is there a reason you are trying to compile from source? You do not need to do so in order to be able to do Calibre development - just follow the instructions in the User Guide for setting up a Calibre development environment to run from source (which is not the same as build from source). If you try to do build Calibre from source there are lots of dependencies to get right, whereas if you follow the User Guide process then this is all handled, but you can still amend any of the Calibre Python code.

The title of this thread says Problem in installing calibre in Ubuntu 11.10. To install calibre on Ubuntu follow the Binary install instructions found here. Once installed if you wish to setup the calibre development environment follow the instructions here.

Good Luck.

If I run command "bzr branch lp:calibre" what will be total size of code.............?

http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/deve...tting-the-code on this site it says that you can download it from source...........so I downloaded tarball and follow instruction which is given in Install file.

and also I want to ask if i download source code using "bzr branch lp:calibre" this command then it will handle all dependencies.......?

If You read that link and follow the instructions for the recommended way of setting up a Linux development Environment based on the binary install and setting the CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM environment variable to point to the downloaded source then all dependencies are handled for you. If you decide to try and build everything by compiling from source then you have to sort out the dependencies.
