Calibre 0.5.3 broken (for me...)

[Emmanuel]

OK, so I'm stuck here - on my kubuntu 8.04, I can't install the linux binary, I get the following error:

Extracting application files...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/init.py", line 39, in <module>
File "ExtensionLoader_PyQt4_QtCore.py", line 12, in <module>
ImportError: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by /usr/local/calibre/libglib-2.0.so.0)


compiling from source fails too - I have compiled pyton2.6 locally, but setuptools fails:
/usr/local/bin/python setup.py build
Setup calibre version: 0.5.3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 49, in <module>
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
ImportError: No module named setuptools

(setuptools is the vanilla one on my box, probably it needs to work with python2.5? dunno)

So I'm stuck, since i wiped out calibre 0.5.2

I need:
- either a way to compile the stuff
- a fix for the binary install
- or be able to reinstall version 0.5.2

any ideas?
