2.49 not loading

[iomari]

Grreetings,
I've been using calibre for many years now. I've successfully used the standard download, compiling from git source and the development download.
I'm using opensuse 13.2 that is always updated.
I've been currently using the git source for the last couple of calibre updates with no problem until 2.49 today. I use the git source because the standard download does not reflect my kde theme which is dark but the git source does.
After an almost successful compilation of git source, it ended with the following:

Installing bash completion to: /usr/local/share/bash-completion/completions/calibre [1/117]

calibre successfully installed. You can start it by running the command calibre

There were 2 warning(s):

* Setting up completion failed with error:

* Setting up desktop integration failed with error:

So I tried to launch it anyway and after waiting for a good 3 or 4 minutes, I get a dialog box with a "show details" button.

The details are as follows:

calibre, version 2.49.0

IOError: Error reading file '/usr/local/share/calibre/builtin_recipes.xml': failed to load external entity "/usr/local/share/calibre/builtin_recipes.xml"

SO the obvious question is how can I resolve this?

Thanks
iomari

btw: the standard download works for 2.49 but without my kde theme which I'm not happy with.

It looks like your builtin recipes list failed to properly compile.

I have seen that happen a few times during `python2 setup.py resources`, which occasionally requires multiple tries to successfully run -- but it usually stops the installation...

Try rerunning that step and reinstalling from source.

Try deleting /mnt/installs/iomari/mystuff/used/git-repos/calibre/resources/localization/ -- it looks like some of your localizations got borked somehow.

Then rerun the setup with `python2 setup.py bootstrap`

eschwartz, Thanks. That did it. :-)

You're welcome. Happy to help.
