Calibre 0.7.9 failed to load ImageMagick

Eldomir · 07-18-2010, 04:47 AM

Using Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx), everything was fine using 0.7.8. Updated using the binary install to 0.7.9, and when I try to set the cover of a book, I get this error:

Code:

RuntimeError:Failed to load ImageMagick: /opt/calibre/libMagickWand.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When I go to /opt/calibre, I see a libMagickWand.so.3 (instead of .2).

Suggestions?

As a workaround you can make a link of the so.3 to the so.2. That is:

Code:

sudo ln -s /opt/calibre/libMagickWand.so.3 /opt/calibre/libMagickWand.so.2

Will be fixed in next release, in the meantime use the work around.
