Yum reinstall fixed above errors, but no libchm-bin
for F11, worked regardless,

Might want to cleanup code to fix the following however:

hm2pdf –book test.chm
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/chm2pdf/orig/SSIS2005/*’: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/chm2pdf/work/SSIS2005/*’: No such file or directory
PAGES: 616
Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment
BYTES: 15288887
Written file SSIS2005.pdf
Done.

You might want to update your link, There is now a 9.1 version available.

Thanks Harsh, a very neat program. The program and dependencies are all available in the Ubuntu repos and the program worked perfectly in Ubuntu 9.04

I get the following error. I use version 0.9.1

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/chm2pdf”, line 1098, in
main(sys.argv)
File “/usr/bin/chm2pdf”, line 1092, in main
convert_to_pdf(cfile, filename, outputfilename, options)
File “/usr/bin/chm2pdf”, line 318, in convert_to_pdf

File “/usr/bin/chm2pdf”, line 121, in get_objective_urls_list
urls_list.append(spline[5])
IndexError: list index out of range

I tried the –book option and –webpage option as well. It doesn’t work. Anybody faced this error and got around with it? Please help
