Yep I ran make -C src/libprs500/gui2/ as written on the development page. No errors from that as far as I could see.

So what error does lrfviewer give you?

My mistake, forgot to include that sorry.

Try running make again

Okay updated to the newest SVN, 628.

Ran make -C src/libprs500/gui2/ and it initially said

Code:

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

So I did a make clean and tried again and now I'm getting lots of

Code:

pyuic4 lrf_renderer/main.ui | sed "s/import images_rc/from libprs500.gui2 import images_rc/" | \
                    sed "s/from library import/from libprs500.gui2.library import/"> lrf_renderer/main_ui.py
/bin/sh: Can't open pyuic4

pyuic4 does exist and my user can run it.

Code:

# pyuic4 --version
Python User Interface Compiler 4.3.1 for Qt version 4.3.0

kovidgoyal · 10-03-2007, 04:15 PM

Replace pyuic4 in the Makefile with the full path to pyuic4

Awesome, that fixed it. Ran setup and it installed correctly too, no more errors for bash-completion either.

Sorry about all the questions, not that familiar with python.

libprs500 is working and looks great.

MSWallack · 10-04-2007, 02:39 PM

Curious to know if you've had a chance to look at (or had any luck with) the rtf2lrf error described in Ticket #220.

Also, is there a way to modify the formatting in an existing .lrf file? For example, once a file has been converted to .lrf, is there a way to adjust the font size or add a header with starting over from the original eBook file?

Thanks again for all your efforts.

kovidgoyal · 10-04-2007, 07:22 PM

Oh I'm sorry somehow I forgot about that ticket. Probably because I missed the email notifying me about the file attachment, I'll look at it asap.

You can use the --lrs option to generate an LRS file (which is an XML file), edit it and then use an lrs2lrf compiler to generate an LRF file. Unfortunately I haven't got around to writing an lrs2lrf compiler for libprs500, too many higher priority tasks, but I think there is one floating around that uses DLLs from the connect software.

Hi everyone,

I installed libprs500 for Feisty as described at
https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/wiki
I just copied and pasted the the whole thing to my terminal window

I get an exception when I try to add a book

restoreState
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/main.py", line 261, in add_books
File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/__init__.py", line 275, in choose_files
File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/__init__.py", line 208, in __init__
AttributeError: restoreState

when I click on the library, I get the following

argument 0 of signal QListView.location_selected(PyQt_PyObject) has an invalid type
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/widgets.py", line 81, in current_changed
TypeError: argument 0 of signal QListView.location_selected(PyQt_PyObject) has an invalid type

My python install is as follows

cat /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/easy-install.pth
import sys; sys.__plen = len(sys.path)
./TTFQuery-1.0.0-py2.5.egg
./libprs500-0.4.7-py2.5.egg
import sys; new=sys.path[sys.__plen:]; del sys.path[sys.__plen:]; p=getattr(sys,'__egginsert',0); sys.path[p

]=new; sys.__egginsert = p+len(new)

Am I missing some library or something? I am not a python programmer, so I have no idea how to debug. I am also a recent convert to Linux and my knowledge is still pretty green. Thanks in advance.

kovidgoyal · 10-05-2007, 07:07 AM

You need to upgrade to the latest Qt, SIP, and PyQt versions
Qt >= 4.3.1, SIP >= 4.7.1 and PyQt >= 4.3.1

MSWallack · 10-05-2007, 10:20 AM

I tried the UnRTF method that you suggested in your private e-mail (my reply bounced). I've updated the ticket with the results.

ddavtian · 10-07-2007, 01:43 AM

Kovid, I always enjoy reading NYTimes and Newsweek, thank you for profiles. NYTimes downloads fast and size is around 1Mb. Newsweek is coming much slower, size is around 4-5 Mb and my reader opens and formats it very slowly (today's download has over 5000 pages).

Would you consider putting a limit on number of articles in each section? In today's "National News" and "World News" it gets articles all the way back from June. "National News" alone has 1,200+ pages. "World News" is around 800 pages, "Health" adds 500+ pages, "Entertaintment" is another 800 pages. It would be better to download only last 10-15 articles or last 2-3 weeks, in each section. You could hardcode a reasonable number or make it an option.

Do you have other favorite newspapers/magazines that may make to the libprs500?

Thanks,
David

kovidgoyal · 10-07-2007, 01:46 AM

Sure adding a date based limit is probably a good idea. Open a ticket and I'll get it done. I was planning to add The Economist but there were some technical issues that I haven't had the time to sort out.
