Content server on ubuntu 12.04 headless server ImageMagick: libltdl.so.7

[SOLVED] I have a new Ubuntu server (12.04 LTS) that I would like use for my Calibre content server.

I ran the instructions from here:

http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

using the 4th option for install, the isolated method that doesn't run as root.

When I run the command calibre-server --with-library=blah/blah

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site.py", line 61, in main
File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/main.py", line 12, in <module>
File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/base.py", line 21, in <module>
File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/content.py", line 17, in <module>
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/magick/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
RuntimeError: Failed to load ImageMagick: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did I miss a step, is there some library or package I need to install?

I tried to find any libltdl.so and there in nothing on the disk. Shouldn't it have come with the Calibre installation?

Or alternately, can I run the server without the ImageMagick? Is it needed for the server?

I intend to manage the library from a Windows machine elsewhere.

Thanks,
Mark.
