Trying to Install on Fedora 10
Hello,
I'm trying to install Calibre on Fedora 10 (already searched the fedora & rpm fusion repo's...not there), I keep getting this: File "setup.py", line 50, in <module> from pyqtdistutils import PyQtExtension, build_ext, Extension File "/home/bob/src/calibre-0.5.14/pyqtdistutils.py", line 14, in <module> import sipconfig, os, sys, string, glob, shutil ImportError: No module named sipconfig. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. |

Make sure that python-sip4 as well as python-sip4-dev are installed (beside the dependencies listed on the calibre linux download page).

In fedora it should be just
yum install sip yum install sip-devel if python is already installed. And i'm not sure if sip-devel is really required. In Ubuntu JJ the packages are called sip4, python-sip4 and python-sip4-dev. |

(have to sudo or su install) I have installed sip.i386, no package sip-dev avail. Ran update of PyQt4, then I got a new error: "you do not have pyrcc4 in your path. Install PyQt4 dev tools" - Done.
Re-booted and tried again..Now after I run python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py install, I get this: building 'calibre.plugins.pictureflow' extension qmake -o Makefile.qt pictureflow.pro unable to execute qmake: No such file or directory error: command 'qmake' failed with exit status 1. Hmm - not sure why all the problems with this install, Calibre installed perfectly the last time I had it on this computer. I certainly appreciate the help you have been giving me. |

found this link http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ticket/2571 (reopened) - will give a try.
O.K. at this point I have upgraded to Fedora 11, confirmed all dependencies, installed sip-devel, wget, PyQt4, PyQt4-devel, python-setuptools.noarch, python.setuptools-devel.noarch. ..and now this - gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fPIC -Isrc/calibre/utils/lzx -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c src/calibre/utils/lzx/lzxmodule.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/src/calibre/utils/lzx/lzxmodule.o unable to execute gcc: No such file or directory error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1. Not sure what else to do or try, any help would be greatly appreciated. Last edited by BKR; 06-15-2009 at 05:40 PM. Reason: update |

OK this is weird, I have reinstalled fedora 10 and just when I thought I would have to look for another e-book manager, I decided to give calibre one last shot. I used the binary installer and it installed successfully Well I'm so glad calibre is working great now, but after all of this I must say I hate software (sometimes).

Shoot, I don't remember the other topic name, but Kovid did just mention that one of the older (pre v0.6) installation methods has been discontinued.
