At 16:15:53 on Monday Monday 19 April 2010, Mark Goldstein ... Build Service speaks of installation into oS 11.2 only; I know that some some packages don't distinguish between 11.1 and 11.2, but that isn't a good bet. So I added the two specified repos and tried to install from YaST.
Trying to load Calibre afterward caused the cursor to bounce for quite a while, which was encouraging, but after a time that stopped without ever displaying anything, so clearly something is missing.
I would try then run it from command line (/usr/bin/calibre). There may be some useful diagnostics. Maybe some additional library is needed.
There is a note in the Build Service page about the program, in which a user says that he installed Calibre "easily" (my quotes) by "using the line:
http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()">. It isn't clear to me how he used it, or at what stage ub tge process.
Not sure also. I thought to install from sources initially, but found out that there are too many dependencies (including advanced version of the Python and its libraries). So I just installed from the mentioned repository.
The Caliber website, by the way, offers a number of binaries, including an rpm for Fedora. He probably could have made an rpm for oS fore little or no additional effort.
Probably it is worth asking the owner of the oS repository. I guess, Calibre developers use contributions from users. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
