OK, I guess I'm just an idiot, but I can no longer get the command line utils to work correctly either.

I'm running on OS X 10.5.8 (latest Leopard). I haven't used Calibre for a while, but last time I needed command line tools I ran mobi2oeb and got pretty nice html outputs. Now with Calibre 0.6.19 my system no longer recognises that command (used to just type in Terminal "mobi2o" then Tab and the command would auto-complete).

This thread seems to indicate I can now use ebook-convert. But when I type the command ebook then hit Tab I get "ebook-viewer" only. No ebook-convert command is recognised, even when typed completely.

I have checked my /usr/bin and the Calibre links are there (including still the ones like mobi2oeb - maybe that is part of the problem?). But no ebook-convert link is there.

Any other Mac user encountered this?

Cheers!
