Hello,
I am trying calibre on my laptop (calibre 0.7.46 on Linux 2.6.35-gentoo-r12, Python 2.6.6, gcc 4.4.4). I installed its binaries using
Code:
$ sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"
I can start it and see the "Calibre quick start guide", but when I try to convert even a simple "Lorem ipsum" html file to another format (e.g. epub or mobi) I get the following error:
Code:
$ ebook-convert foo.html foo.epub
1% Converting input to HTML...
InputFormatPlugin: HTML Input running
<...>
67% Creating EPUB Output
Looking for large trees in foo.html...
No large trees found
Generating default cover
ebook-convert: coders/png.c:2825: ReadPNGImage: Assertion `image_info->signature == 0xabacadabUL' failed.
/usr/bin/ebook-convert: line 9: 1557 Aborted $base/bin/ebook-convert "$@"
This does not happen when I add the option "--no-default-epub-cover".
However, any image which is present in the original html seems to trigger this crash.
Thanks for any suggestion you might have, and thank you for writing calibre!
Cheers,
davide
