Mac OS X problem with new version of Calibre .58

[Mitchll]

Kovid,
I loaded new version released today and program opened and froze on my Mac OS X 10.5 when I hit the configuration icon (hammer):

global name 'icon' is not defined
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/Resources/main.py", line 930, in do_config
File "calibre/gui2/dialogs/config.pyo", line 18, in __init__
File "calibre/gui2/dialogs/config_ui.pyo", line 175, in setupUi
File "calibre/gui2/dialogs/config_ui.pyo", line 188, in retranslateUi
NameError: global name 'icon' is not defined

Yeah, I'll release a fix for that later today.

Here's another one using .58 in Vista with a 505: I can't read any of the books in my device. It recognizes the device, but whenever I click on a book there, get the following error message:

argument 1 of QPixmap.fromImage() has an invalid type
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\status.pyo", line 67, in show_data
TypeError: argument 1 of QPixmap.fromImage() has an invalid type

I went back to .53 and the problem went away.

Fix is released

Works fine now. Thanks

Hello everybody!
I finally got my brand new Sony and look forward to using it!
I downloaded Calibre and tried to convert a pdf manual, but something went wrong.
I searched in this forum but couldn't find any hint.

Can anybody help me ?

This is the output:

What version of OSX are you on?

[paolo]

Hi Kovid,

I'm on OS X 10.4.11.
I'm eager to use your app. I saw it running on a pc of a friend of mine, who is so happy about it.
I'm out of luck these days... I'm getting error on Ubuntu 7.10, during installation..
sigh...so many books are waiting for me...

thank you

paolo

What does running the following command in Terminal give uou

locate libfreetype.6.dylib

And what version of calibre are you using?

[paolo]

Hi Kovi,

here's the msg:

I downloaded Calibre 0.4.76

Many thks
ciao

[kovidgoyal]

Hmm try deleting /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

(some other software may need it, so move it elesewhere rather than deleting it)

[paolo]

Kovi,

it works! I did what you suggested (moved libfreetype.6.dylib from /usr/local/lib/)
and works like a charm!

I'm also upgrading from Ubuntu 7.10 to newest version and try Calibre on it!

Thank u so much! I will enjoy yr app!

ciao

paolo
