libunrar.so not found

I'm having trouble installing libunrar.so. It's required for Calibre to convert CBR files.

Anyone an idea on where to get it (package or source)?

Solution 1:

My PPA contains a libunrar package, if you don't feel like messing around with a manual install.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bodiltv/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install calibre

(or just libunrar : sudo apt-get install libunrar)

download calibre

http://sourceforge.net/projects/calibre/files/

select your system :

64 bits : calibre-x.x.xx-x86_64.tar.bz2

32 bits : calibre-x.x.xx-i686.tar.bz2

extract that file and find libunrar.so in the main directory

copy libunrar.so into "/usr/lib" folder
