Installation Problem
Hi,
I'm using calibre since quite a time and didn't have a problem during the installation script. Now I'm trying to install the latest version (0.99) and there's an error occured saying: Downloaded 57443095 bytes Checking downloaded file integrity... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "<string>", line 371, in main File "<string>", line 341, in download_and_extract File "/usr/lib/python2.6/shutil.py", line 212, in rmtree rmtree(fullname, ignore_errors, onerror) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/shutil.py", line 206, in rmtree fullname = os.path.join(path, name) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 70, in join path += '/' + b UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128) I don't really have a clue what to do. I am using Debian Squeeze (6.06) and the installation script from the calibre download page. Can anybody give me a hint ? Thanks, Fred |

That error indicates you have entered an installation path with non-ascii characters. Try it again, this time either accepting the default installation path or entering a simple ascii only path like /opt

You are so fast ! Thanks !
I use the default installation path from the script (/opt) as I used to do every time. |

I think there is an issue within the script !
When I enter opt instead of the default enter for /opt, it works ! Sorry It don't work correct. This time it is installed in the current directory under opt. But going to / and then giving opt to install there's the same error again. ------- Update: The error was produced due to a corrupte file within /opt/calibre/bin. After deleting the corrupt file with file manager the installation runs without any problem. But calibre don't show up after the start showing no error message. If you have a clue just let me know.
