re-download, should now be fixed.

I'm having a problem of a similar nature on debian sid, I have updated all dependencies I can think of. Trying to convert a .txt with a few mark-ups.

kovidgoyal · 10-13-2008, 03:31 PM

make sure you have qt and pyqt with webkit support installed.

eumesmo · 10-13-2008, 03:46 PM

I ran apt-get update python-setuptools python-imaging libqt4-core libqt4-gui \
python-qt4 python-mechanize imagemagick xdg-utils \
python-dbus python-lxml python-beautifulsoup help2man
this morning.

When I run calibre_postinstall, I get

Webkit is installed and up to date too, I even reinstalled it.

kovidgoyal · 10-13-2008, 04:03 PM

That error message indicates that your pyqt installation doesn't have the QtWebKit module. I suggest asking on the ubuntu fora for help

eumesmo · 10-13-2008, 04:06 PM

It's debian, but thanks anyway, I'll wait for next version to see if it's still broken.

If a required package to run calibre is not installed on your workstation... the next version of calibre isn't going to help.

Do you have the python-qt4 package installed? It looks like it includes qtwebkit.

I get the following message when trying to install the latest version:

Error in action ExecuteAction: Error in action AddDirectoryToPath: unable to open key: Access is denied.
Error in action ExecuteAction: Error in action AddDirectoryToPath: unable to open key: Access is denied.
while executing

(command bound to event)

The earlier version installed in August 2008 worked fine.

Ubuntu 8.10 Seems to have the QWebPage class in the QtWebKit module instead of Qt, as seen in calibre's source.

I have made this change to the source, and now I get no errors, and ePub cover thumbnails display fine in the GUI:

kovidgoyal · 10-14-2008, 01:48 PM

Since Qt is supposed to be a shortcut module that contains the entire PyQt namespace, this is a bug in ubuntu. You should open a ticket. I'll make that change in the code though.

openSuSE 11.0 is exhibiting the same behaviour as ubuntu. Applying the patch allows calibre to build and install.

AS well the file src/calibre/ebooks/lrf/html/table_as_image.py also has a reference to QWebPage and should be patched as well.

kovidgoyal · 10-14-2008, 07:29 PM

Thanks, fixed.

Kovid, what release/distro are you using? I need some reference before filing a bug.

kovidgoyal · 10-15-2008, 06:40 PM

I use gentoo, my PyQt is compiled from source.
