[Slackbuilds-users] calibre does not start

[Petar Petrov]

hi all,

calibre does not start. It shows this in the terminal:

Failed to run pipe worker with command: from calibre.utils.ipc.pool
import run_main, worker_main; run_main(worker_main)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/calibre-parallel", line 20, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/utils/ipc/worker.py", line 180, in main
exec (sys.argv[-1])
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/utils/ipc/pool.py", line 392, in run_main
with closing(Client(address, authkey=key)) as conn:

s.connect(address)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 228, in meth

thanks, but recompiling these (to the latest version available, not
that particular commit) did not make Calibre work. Any other ideas?
What else should I recompile?

I recall seeing the same traceback right after the big qt5 update and privately emailing the calibre maintainer about it. The problem was with python2-sip. What fixed calibre for me was to rebuild python2-sip after a fix was pushed (I believe it was this one https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/commit/python/python2-sip?h=14.2&id=fa749a3a4df86ad32c6314cd03fc3793e830d787), then rebuild PyQt5, and then rebuild calibre.

This binary repackaging script will at least get you the latest
version of Calibre:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duganchen/my_slackbuilds/master/calibre.SlackBuild

Does not solve your compiling issue though...

I recall vaguely an issue with a change in calibre's built in content
server with the 3.30 series. I now use Alienbobs calibre package. I
don't use PyQt5. Rather, qt5-5.9.6 and qt5-webkit-5.9.0 to get it to
work. Make sure have qt5 and qt5-webkit built in the correct order, and
libwep might be required now as well.

Or do what I did a few months ago and throw my hands up and just use
Alienbob's calibre package. The dep chain was enough to shorten my
lifespan....
