HI, I tried to install calibre on ubuntu 8.10.
first I tried

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-imaging libqt4-core libqt4-gui \
python-qt4 python-mechanize imagemagick \
xdg-utils python-dbus python-lxml python-beautifulsoup \
help2man
sudo easy_install -U calibre

I also installed python-qt4-dev

however,
when I do

sudo calibre_postinstall


I got the following error:

calibre_postinstall
Trying to setup udev rules...
* Restarting Hardware abstraction layer hald [ OK ]
Setting up bash completion...
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/calibre/ebooks/epub/from_any.py", line 191, in option_parser
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting


Then I want to install it from source. it still not working.

when i do
sudo python setup.py build

I got this error.


Setup calibre version: 0.4.133

I did install python-qt4-dev from apt-get.

so can anyone help me figure out what happening?

Thanks a lot. Stev
