Installation problem on CentOS 6.5
I've been running a headless calibre-server on a CentOS 6.5 virtual machine for several months. This evening I started seeing some problems with covers not showing up for some new books that I had added to the library (synced from a desktop instance via owncloud). Clicking on details for the new books brought up an error message. Not wanting to deal with troubleshooting that at the moment, I decided to try installing the latest version of calibre, since the server was running a fairly old version. I copied the linux binary install script from the download page, and keep getting the following error when trying to install:
Extracting files to /opt/calibre ... Extracting application files... tar (grandchild): xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory tar (grandchild): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child died with signal 13 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "<string>", line 648, in main File "<string>", line 628, in download_and_extract File "<string>", line 602, in extract_tarball IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe Any tips on what's going on? Bad install file? Bad python script? |

You are missing xz on your server. And note that you need GLIBC >= 2.13 to run calibre, as documented on the linux download page.

Shortly after posting, I installed xz, but still had issues. I found a post suggesting using the "J" flag with tar, so I grabbed the latest binary and modified the "manual upgrade" command from the download page. Everything seems to be working again.
