Please help with calibre -- Loading ICU failed

[pmiles]

I've just installed Calibre 0.9.10 (binary install) on a clean Debian stable 32-bit headless system. I've got this problem:

/opt/calibre/ebook-convert /home/calibre/recipes/wsj.recipe "/home/calibre/WSJ.mobi" --title="The Wall Street Journal" --output-profile=kindle --username=xxxx --password=xxxx

Actually, I get the same error at installation:



root@xxxx:/home/calibre/download# sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()"

You can automate future calibre installs by specifying the
installation directory in the install command itself, like
this:

sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main(install_dir='/opt')"

Change /opt above to whatever directory you want calibre to be
automatically installed to


Run "calibre" to start calibre
