I put that code into a terminal and it returned this:

I thought maybe I needed to prefix it with "sudo" and I got this:
Quote:
Usage: calibre [options] [path_to_ebook or calibre url ...]
Launch the main calibre Graphical User Interface and optionally add the e-book at
path_to_ebook to the database. You can also specify calibre URLs to perform various
different actions, than just adding books. For example:
calibre://view-book/test_library/1842/epub
Will open the book with id 1842 in the EPUB format from the library
"test_library" in the calibre E-book viewer. Library names are the folder names of the
libraries with spaces replaced by underscores. A full description of the
various URL based actions is in the User Manual.
Whenever you pass arguments to calibre that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
calibre: error: no such option: --library-path

I am not certain what the problem is and I do not want to push it much farther without knowing I am going down the right path.
Just thinking, I have not moved the old library back into the game. Let me do that and see if that happens to work. Another stupid oversight on my part.
Okay, first try, without the "sudo command came up with this:

This looks much the same as the last one, but I am having probems with my pointer, so it is difficult to compare. So it would appear the new and old libraries still have the same problem
With the "sudo command I got this:

That one is different, but much the same. It is the last line I find worrying in both cases. I know there is something that is obvious here, just not to me.
Cheers again,
