according to that log it is inding and correctly binding libpython2.6

BTW, just got the same error on ARM target - "Illegal operation". It happened at "a%b" operation when the "b" was greater than "a" in library / kernel function __udivsi3. The reason for that was probably a bad assembly code created by Code Sourcery G++ toolchain. Replacing the toolchain with DENX solved me the problem.
I just want to say that my calibre error can also be a result of compiler issues (was it built by alfa-quality toolchain?).

it was built using GCC, glibc (4.3.3 and 2.8) IIRC

this will generate problems - ubuntu 8.04 is not old, forcing users to upgrade on a recent distro is a bit rough, I think.

Meanwhile, could you please put version 0.5.2 in the download section again?

Trying to maintain compatibility in the linux world really isn't the app developers job, it's the distro's job. Given the vast number of ditributions out there if I started worrying about whether every change I make is compatible with evry linux distro, I'd never get anything done. And if your problem is with glibc being too recent, downgrading to 0.5.2 wont help since if I rebuild 0.5.2 it will also use the new glibc.

OK - so I tried the following:
- i initiated the download of the binary install
- this fails, but the I copied /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 into /opt/calibre...
as user , I do a "cd /opt/calibre ; ./calibre" and it seems to work! (no extensive testing...)
but of course the install isn't finished, so is there a way to relaunch it without redowloading everything?

kovidgoyal · 03-26-2009, 05:48 PM

Sure run

sudo calibre_postinstall

Emmanuel · 03-26-2009, 05:55 PM

well so far so good... no crashes yet, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks Emmanuel, your solution worked for me as well. Running Kubuntu 8.04.
