Calibre doesn't start on OSX
Or rather... Calibre started once for me and then not again. I reinstalled, then the same thing, it started once, then after quitting and trying to restart nothing happened. Then I downloaded the latest version, then tried again. It booted once, I tinkered with it, then quit and tried again, no dice.
Curious, I tried to open it from the command line with "open -a calibre.app" It didn't open, but I got this error: LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810. Any ideas? M. |

I also took a bite out of the console log:

this is a nasty little bug that seems to affect some users on 10.5.8
easiest fix is to upgrade to 10.6 or you can workaround it by launching calibre as /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre |
