Here, installation with the suggested "binary method", which consists of supplying python files according to a supplied incantation, worked without complaining about dependencies.
Same here. I looked at the dependencies, but didn't do anything about them. I simply instlled the binary via the command line suggested on the web site.
Absent from the list of distros supported is opensuse.
Both the binary- and the source-install methods are intended precisely for unsupported distros.
Yet it worked. I might have accidentally satisfied all the prereqs by virtue of running KDE 4.4.2.
UmPossible. It worked for me, yet I haven't installed KDE4 at all. What is likely, however, is that both these methods include the necessary Python stuff in addition to the Calibre files, so that all the dependencies are snuck in by stealth, untouched by human hands, as it were.
What surprised me is that he says explicitly that the binary install requires glibc at v2.10 or greater (and he gives a workaround for older versions), but it installed here without complaint even though I have v2.9x.
... And when I tried this installer on 11.1/x86/KDE3 the installation failed saying GLIBC 2.10 or higher is needed. Probably it is possible to install GLIBC 2.10 without removing the previous version? There are a couple of repositories in build service with version 2.10... I'll probably try later, but I'm afraid glibc + h-files will probably replace existing ones. The workaround suggested is just replacing the latest version of calibre with older version, that does not require glibc 2.10. Well, I have older version installed from Thomas' repository already.
