Problems Installing on Lunix Ubuntu machine
I'm really excited about trying Calibre, it looks like the exact program I've been seeking, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux, and I cannot get it to install.
This is the result I get when I attempt the binary install intructions from the site - Code:
kristopher@kristopher-laptop:~$ sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 124, in urlopen return _opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 389, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 407, in _open '_open', req) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 367, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 696, in <lambda> meth(r, proxy, type)) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 725, in proxy_open return self.parent.open(req, timeout=req.timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 389, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 412, in _open 'unknown_open', req) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 367, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 1179, in unknown_open raise URLError('unknown url type: %s' % type) urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: wpad> kristopher@kristopher-laptop:~$ Again, I have no idea what I'm doing, so be gentle! Is there something in that original line that I have to change before hitting enter or something? THANKS!!! Last edited by mtravellerh; 12-28-2009 at 11:02 AM. |

Calibre is in the ubuntu repository. Start synaptic and search for calibre.
For a later version, use this repository -> https://launchpad.net/~fabricesp/+archive/ppa |
