I tried installing the dependencies as has been listed in the site as entioned above and could manage to install all but PoDofo.... (reasons unknown). Thereafter I wrote the command in the appropriate place... a lot of downloading took place; my password was asked and the error that finally came out was following: -
calibre/INSTALL
manish@manish-desktop:~$ cd calibre*
manish@manish-desktop:~/calibre$ sudo python setup.py install
[sudo] password for manish:
Package poppler was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `poppler.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'poppler' found
Package poppler-qt4 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `poppler-qt4.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
