Dear all

I installed calibre to my ubuntu server using the line:

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

The install went smoothly except an error with QDesktopServices, I assume as I don't have a GUI installed. QImage also failed. (Please bear with my linux ignorance.)

I have a custom recipe, so I try the line:

sudo ebook-convert economist-8-28.recipe econ.epub

I get the error:

InputFormatPlugin: Recipe Input running
Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: Failed to load ImageMagick: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas? I can't find anything resembling libfontconfig in the calibre directories or install stdout.

Huge thanks
