Installing Calibre on Headless Linux
Hi,
I am attempting to install calibre on a headless linux server and saw a few other posts with people trying the same. I am getting this error when I try and run ebook-convert: Traceback (most recent call last): File "site.py", line 55, in main File "site.py", line 41, in set_qt_plugin_path ImportError: cannot import name QCoreApplication Others have seen the same and it was mentioned that Qt4.8+ needs to be installed which I believe I did: # qmake --version QMake version 2.01a Using Qt version 4.8.5 in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.5/lib Have others been able to get this to work and could provide some guidance? thanks |

What distro are you using?
EDIT: also, while I'm not sure what's in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.5/lib, maybe it's something that should appear in ldconfig -p. If it's not, maybe that's why Calibre doesn't find the necessary classes? Last edited by aleyx; 12-17-2013 at 01:39 PM. |

Not a headless server, but.
I remote access from laptop to "server" using as all of the time. Not sure that helps you though |

Did a little more digging and it appears I need to update my glibc. I need 2.10 and have 2.5. |
