New versions of calibre in Ubuntu Hardy 64 Bit

you are missing g++ the c++ compiler.

That worked okay. I had to install SIP4 as well. It seems to compile okay, but there seems to be a problem with the post install process.

that's weird. Does the file src/calibre.gui2/dialogs/conversion_error_ui.py exist?

[deedward9]

I was unable to find it, which doesn't quite mean it doesn't exist.

The happy news is that I went ahead and tried the precompiled linux binary, and it works just fine in my 64 bit installation. The only error I have is in trying to convert cbz file. I get the following error, which I also got on my windows installation of Calibre.

('RuntimeError', u'Failed to load ImageMagick')
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for all your assistance.

Thanks Devin

yeah calibre comes bundled with a 32-bit version of the imagemagick library.
