Title Body

I am trying to use the static binary of wkhtmltopdf on Ubuntu server 10.0.4. The reason for is that it apparently has a built in modified QT that will allow me to run wkhtmltopdf without an X Server. Result: Once installed (see steps below), when I execute wkhtmltopdf in the terminal, it does not fire up... just returns me to the prompt - like it ran and did something, no error but no output: :/usr/bin$ wkhtmltopdf :/usr/bin$ Same behavior if I put args: :/usr/bin$ wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com test.pdf :/usr/bin$ Am I doing something wrong --- my understanding that the static binary should just fire up. Perhaps missing some dependency? Is there a way to get some verbose output? These are the steps I have followed: In /usr/bin: 1) Confirmed that the existing (non-static) wkhtmltopdf resides there and that it executes. When I execute it with no args I get the help/about output from the app. 2) Moved the existing wkhtmltopdf out of the directory (renamed it) 3) Get the static binary: sudo curl -C - -O http: //wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2 4) Untar: tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2 5) Rename: mv wkhtmltopdf-i386 wkthtmltopdf 6) Get (apparently) necessary packages: sudo apt-get install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev
