Hi Kovid and Brad,

I've been googling for the same error message "ImportError: cannot import name QCoreApplication" and for the same reasons, as I came across your thread.

I have a Debian Lenny 5.0.8 Server and would like to deploy my Calibre-Library onto it. After I read about the "calibre-server" feature, I was more excited.

So first I should first to ensure that my system fulfills the prequisites. Specially the GLIBC. I checked through Aptitude and found a preinstalled one "libc6 Version: 2.7-18lenny7". So I was in doubt, since the version no. is totally different from the requested noted. Anyway I execute

Code:

python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()

and get exactly the same errors mentioned by Brad.

@Kovid
At this step, it's still not possible to run any calibre-command.

@Brad
did you find meanwhile a solution to this?

Greetings
Wahid
