There are now five ways to install calibre in linux

1. Distribution packages
2. Binary installer
3. Download the source tarball and all depedencies and do a source install
4. Checkout from version control and do a source install
5. Use easy_install -U calibre

Of these only the first four are recommended. Which method you choose depends on various factors, like your familiarity with linux, whether your system is 64bit or not, etc. Basically start with the one you're most comfortable with and if it doesn't work, try the others.
