Calibre on CentOS

[kovidgoyal]

Try the attached glib (just unzip and drop it into /opt/calibre)

[ciscoswitch]

No output on:

readelf -a /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 | grep g_thread_gettime

After putting the new glib in /opt/calibre now I get:

[root@puterserver calibre]# ./calibre
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/init.py", line 41, in <module>
File "ExtensionLoader_PyQt4_QtCore.py", line 12, in <module>
ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by /opt/calibre/libglib-2.0.so.0)

I apparently have glibc-2.5-34

[kovidgoyal]

glibc is one of those libraries that can't just be dropped in, you'll have to compile it from source on your machine

[ciscoswitch]

Ok, installed glibc to /opt and added /opt/lib to ld.so.conf.d file.. now when I start to run calibre I get:

./calibre: line 10: 17890 Segmentation fault $loader "$@"

[kovidgoyal]

Can you setup your machine to dump core and get a stack trace from gdb?

[ciscoswitch]

That's a little beyond me I think.. I can follow directions though..

[ciscoswitch]

I took another approach and decide to try to install from source. I got the requirements installed I believe, and have finally been able to get it to start to build, this is what I get:

[root@puterserver calibre-0.6.13]# python2.6 setup.py build

any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

[kovidgoyal]

You've installed a static version of libpython, it needs to be compile as a dynamic library (a .so file)

[ciscoswitch]

now getting:

actually fixed that the correct qmake wasn't in the path.. now it built ok.. when I got to install:

Well I got it all close to running, but something still isn't working.

Anyways, I should have done this before, but I didn't, I started up the webserver on my windows box and tried to get to it via the kindle.. of course it doesn't work, I get the calibre icon, search box and the page buttons, but nothing else.. I'm sure it's caused by the Ajax and kindle doesn't have ajax..

So I saw some posts earlier about it being on a checklist for kindle web support. I was wondering if you do make a stripped down version of the web page, what would it take to also just get an easy installable linux server.. so you can just point it towards the library and have it build a webpage?

Thanks,

[kovidgoyal]

Your syntax error is occurring because the they scripts are being executed with python 2.4 rather than 2.6

[ciscoswitch]

Thanks, I noticed that later on, and edited the scripts to run as python2.6. However there is a Qstring error. I'm recompiling Qt, PyQt, Poppler, etc to see if I can get it to work. Some of the utilities, like calibre-server, calibredb appear to run, however I need to be able to get the main calibre to run so I can get everything setup.

I hope I'm not coming off rude, I realize it's hard to accomodate everyone for their needs/wants. And hard to get something to work on every machine, and OS out there. I appreciate your work on this project, and your help. Just wanted to say that, because when I'm having issues and ask for help, I know I can sound a little rude.

Thanks again,

[kovidgoyal]

No problem, happy to help.

[ciscoswitch]

Tried the binary install of the new 0.16.

I'm getting a 2742 Segmentation fault.

Can you tell me how to get a dump core for you?
