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.

Although if you can, you should upgrade your 12.04 to 14.04, which is the latest LTS. 12.04 still has two years until its EOL, but, well.

N.
I agree update to 14.04.
