Installing binary on Leap 15.6
Hello there

I´m trying to install Calibre 7.17 and beyond on Leap 15.6 and get the following
error message. As the result the reader window does not open.
Does anybody know what could be wrong, or to fix this ?

Many thanks in advance
Michael

Your OS is too old, update or stay with calibre 7.15 until you can.

Hello kovi

If have just upgraded my openSuSE 15.5 to the latest 15.6, because of the outdated glib.
Now i don´t get the error message from before, but instead this new one

That error means the version of freetype on your system is too old, it lacks support for colrv1 fonts wich chromium and hence qt webengine require. So as I said stick with calibre 7.15 until you can update your system.

OK, bad luck ...
Thank you for your work and your time, I really appreciate it, eBook wouldn't work for me

The flatpak from flathub should include all dependencies without you needing to jump to Tumbleweed.
