interesting, I totally missed this thread. So jumping in a bit late.

I would like to install this application on oS 11.1. There is a page that claims to enable this:

Yes, that was me. ;)
I had to remove the one-click installation from my repository as I had moved to a different location. Now I try to improve the RPM package, but it takes time. So this is currently work in progress.
The web is filled with articles about problems encountered in installing Calibre, which is unfortunate, because the salesman-talk about it is really top notch.
The content of the above link still applies. The problem with Calibre is, it takes a lot of dependencies and if you catch a different version by accident it might not work. Although I tried to cover most of it in the RPM ("version X must greater than 1.1.3") it is no guarantee.
Another problem is, that the package does not work in combination with other repositories, eg. KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop and newer calibre versions do not work with older qt libraries.
Has anyone actually installed (from either binaries or source) it and got it to work?
Yes, me. :)
Me too. But I had to link and build it and some dependencies against openSUSE 11.2, KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop, openSUSE:11.2:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop and against Factory:snapshot in my own repository (home:hgraeber:KDE4). Building it for openSUSE 11.1 and newer Qt/KDE may work too, but I haven't tried. Maybe we shall join forces here and push the packages and the dependencies into Factory or at least into the Contrib repository.
