Fedora 20 PIL is now python-pillow -- Binary install fails

[Dennis Kohler]

So, the unfortunate side effect of upgrading to Fedora 20: Trying to install 1.9.0, Calibre install fails with:

WARNING ____________________

THat error indicates one of the libraries needed my Qt is missing/has an
incompatible version on your system. Run calibre ad

LD_DEBUG=libs calibre-debug -c "from PyQt4.Qt import QDesktopServices"

to get information about the problem library.

 status invalid

[Dennis Kohler (dennismkohler)]

Thank you Kovid.
I will work at sorting it out.

FYI
$LD_DEBUG=libs calibre-debug -c "from PyQt4.Qt import QDesktopServices" 2>log
shows up to the error:

You need to post the full log, the section you have there is not really useful.

[Dennis Kohler (dennismkohler)]

Whole log file attached.

Thank you so much for looking at it

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

Try deleting the file libz.so.1 from /opt/calibre/lib

[Dennis Kohler (dennismkohler)]

Works perfectly.
So... in the future look for (fatal) in the log and start there?

You are heroic.

Should I change the name of the bug to help someone else find it who may be in the same trouble in the future?

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

Dont worry about it, the next calibre release will have an updated
version of zlib that should take care of the problem.

 status fixreleased

[Dennis Kohler (dennismkohler)]

Thank you for the bugfix in the new release. I am always astounded at how responsive you are to this project.
