Hello, everyone!
I just ordered Sony PRS-505, but until I get it in my mailbox I started to play with Calibre since I am a Linux user. Unfortunately I didn't succeed to install it.
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Long Time Support).
1. I tried to install Calibre from binaries. The following was happen:kostap@shark:~/work/reader/calibre-0.5.1$ sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download_linux_binary_installer').read(); main()"
Enter the installation directory for calibre (Its contents will be deleted!)[/opt/calibre]:
Downloading calibre...

Illegal instruction
Well, since from the last error message I understand nothing, I tried to compile it from sources.
2. The source build failed as well:
kostap@shark:~/work/reader/calibre-0.5.1$ python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py installSetup calibre version: 0.5.1

PyQt4.uic.exceptions.NoSuchWidgetError: Unknown Qt widget: QPlainTextEdit
Since I am mostly writing embedded SW, the GUI stuff is not so friendly to me (requires too much libraries
)). It's hard to find which one is missing now for QPlainTextEdit widget. It may happen that Ubuntu somehow rejected this specific QT lib from its package repository. Or maybe not...
Is there any way to install Calibre on my machine?
The 8.04 LTS distro is pretty popular and used on many PC's around the world. Most developers use it and do not upgrade to the latest "half-year" release due to development tools compatibility. I would be nice if Calibre will be supported on this platform.
Thanks for your help!
