Bug Description
After installing (and reinstalling to be sure) Calibre 2.15.0 on a Mac OS X 10.8.5 computer, it was found that it won't start by the
normal method of clicking on its icon in the /Applications folder. The system console reports:
1/3/15 10:27:26.168 PM calibre[52595] Launch the main calibre Graphical User Interface and optionally add the ebook at
1/3/15 10:27:26.168 PM calibre[52595] path_to_ebook to the database.
