Excited! But errors for headless server.

[apiontek]

I am excited about this! I of course use the GUI on some computers so all these new features are great.

Unfortunatley I also run a headless calibre-server on a headless Ubuntu 13.04 server. This has been working fine, although months ago I recall one release had a similar problem to what I'm experiencing now.

I am in fact installing Calibre from scratch as I was redoing my server, and on trying to run calibre-server, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site.py", line 56, in main
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/main.py", line 12, in <module>
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/base.py", line 21, in <module>
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/content.py", line 17, in <module>
  File "site-packages/calibre/utils/magick/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
RuntimeError: Failed to load ImageMagick: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

OK, so I didn't used to have this error on a fresh headless Ubuntu server install, but I go ahead and install fontconfig, but then I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site.py", line 56, in main
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/main.py", line 12, in <module>
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/base.py", line 21, in <module>
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/server/content.py", line 17, in <module>
  File "site-packages/calibre/utils/magick/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
RuntimeError: Failed to load ImageMagick: libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I google around and install libxtst6, which also installs x11-common (now I'm starting to get frustrated about too much software I don't need on this server, but ok) but it does nothing. Same error.

Bug to fix? Should I head over to launchpad to report? Or am I doing something wrong?

That error has nothing to do with 1.0. You basically need libXt.so.6 to be able to run the server, there's no way around that.

My problem was that it had continued to give the same error after installing libxtst6 on ubuntu 13.04.

My mistake, I'd done a sloppy google search for libXt.so.6

If anyone else ever has this problem, it's not libxtst6, it's libxt6, which I swear I had tried first with an error. Must have been a typo! :P

In total, in get calibre-server working on my headless ubuntu 13.04 server I needed to install:

fontconfig
libxt6
libltdl7

...and their dependencies, which were few.

My bad. Thanks for all your work, Kovid, sorry for wasting your time with this.
