Patches are welcome And I can either spend my time developing calibre or developing installation packages for the half a hundred linux distributions out there. Linux distributors, by failing to co-operate with each other on packaging have created an impossible situation for application developers. They (and unfortunately linux users) are going to have to live with the consequences.
As it is, for those distributions where people have stepped up and made packages, I am happy to link to them on the linux download page. I lack the time (or the motivation) to do more than that. Quote:

Uninstalling calibre on Linux
For me on Ubuntu 8.04 this worked:
Code:
for i in $(cat /opt/calibre/manifest); do sudo rm "/usr/bin/$i"; done sudo rm -rf /opt/calibre/ rm -rf ~/.config/calibre/ sudo updatedb for i in $(locate calibre); do sudo rm -i "$i"; done Last edited by dedo; 07-29-2009 at 06:20 AM. |

Just check "locate calibre" before running it. I had nothing named *calibre* but calibre files indeed.
Edit: I added -i option to rm, so you can check before deletion. Last edited by dedo; 07-29-2009 at 06:22 AM. |

Last week I successfully installed calibre using the binary installer (Dell Mini 9 running Hardy). I just rebuilt the Dell from the restore cd and now do not seem to be able to install calibre using the binary installer. This is the error it throws:
Extracting files to /usr/bin/calibre ... Extracting application files... Creating symlinks... Symlinking /usr/bin/calibre/fetch-ebook-metadata to /usr/bin/fetch-ebook-metadata Symlinking /usr/bin/calibre/calibre-complete to /usr/bin/calibre-complete Symlinking /usr/bin/calibre/lrf2lrs to /usr/bin/lrf2lrs Symlinking /usr/bin/calibre/ebook-convert to /usr/bin/ebook-convert Symlinking /usr/bin/calibre/pdfmanipulate to /usr/bin/pdfmanipulate Symlinking /usr/bin/calibre/lrfviewer to /usr/bin/lrfviewer Symlinking /usr/bin/calibre/ebook-meta to /usr/bin/ebook-meta Symlinking /usr/bin/calibre/markdown-calibre to /usr/bin/markdown-calibre Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/init.py", line 45, in <module> File "/home/kovid/work/calibre/src/calibre/linux.py", line 348, in binary_install OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/usr/bin/calibre' Any idea what's wrong? Thanks. |

Was the actual problem that I chose /usr/bin/calibre as the install directory when asked to choose a directory? Can't remember which directory I chose last week when it worked... Thanks! I love using calibre on my Windows Vista box and am hoping to get it going on the Linux box... |

Yes delete it. And don't choose to install things under /usr/bin it's bad practice no linux, choose either /opt or /usr/local
