Kovid,
I opened a ticket on calibre. But I am a bit unsure if I did it correctly. I found three patches for Python 2.52 on MacPorts which I believe will fix the installation of Python under Leopard. I don't know how to apply them and absolutely no info accompanied them. I assume that the authors assumed that any one brave enough to attempt patching Python knows what they are doing. And you and I know what assume translates out to being? In any event I am attaching a zip file with the three patches and am willing to be a guinea pig. |

Why do you want to install python separately? Doesn't leopard come with python?

I was attempting to install all of the packages necessary to look at the source code of calibre. I told you I frequently go were angels fear to tread. In any event when I attempted the install of brz it automatically installed 2.52 and I didn't have any idea as to how to stop it.
That being said Leopard does indeed come with 2.51 installed. And if I can revert and finish the install of brz that would be ok to. Just checked in terminal and 2.51 is still live and kicking. So what do I do now? Last edited by Deputy-Dawg; 05-24-2008 at 07:07 AM. Reason: added info |

Kovid,
I went to http://bazaar-vcs.org/MacOSXBundle and I was able get a .dmg file that installed bzr. But when I attempted to download calibre source it errored out with an out of memory error. I have posted a bug report as directed and am waiting for an answer. This type of error has been problem in a few other programs under Leopard. Sigh! I have also gone to whatismyip.com and did a fetch of my IP. I am shocked at how much info they can gather on an individuals system. So much so that I am reluctant to post on a public board. Part of the report concerns the characteristics of the browser being used. In that part of the report it shows: Remote Port: 14027 If this is of any help in figuring out why I cannot download a feed please let me know. If you would like to take a look at the full report please tell me how to get it to you without posting it on a public board. |

See the last post here http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/discussion/2/36 the solution I give is to fix the memory error.
You can post the information to me via a private message on mobileread. |

Kovid,
I cannot get the latest version of Calibre (0.4.62) to recognize my Reader. (I also couldn't get the prior version to recognize it.) The Sony Connect software does recognize it. The Reader does show as a lettered drive in My Computer and double-clicking the drive shows everything that is loaded on the Reader. Any suggestions? Last edited by rhadin; 05-27-2008 at 02:37 PM.

Another question: When Calibre converts a .lit to a .lrf, is there a way to upload the .lrf to the Reader other than by using Calibre? (I'm looking for a fallback option for when Calibre doesn't recognize my Reader.)

rhadin--In Calibre you do have the option to "save to disk". This will save a copy of the .lrf on your computer. You can then use the Sony Reader software, or just drag and drop in Explorer to get your file on your reader.

Thanks, dordale. For some reason, Save to Disk didn't click with me.
