I installed it via packege installer
all depndencies are presumible met
pdfbooklet appears in the list of all software installed
but it does not start
any ideas?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I am not about to let any non-root user write to /usr/share/...
I have created a patch to separate the shared directory from a configuration directory. The latter is best placed in the user's home (which is the only writable place except for $TMPDIR), under ~/.config/programname/.

Traceback (most recent call last):

any ideas what to do now?

Hi
As a workaround temporary solution I suggest to enter the Linux command: #sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/pdfbooklet/pdfbooklet.cfg

You can find the patch here, as part of the Fedora RPM package I am building:
