Cannot find convert executable.

The INSTALL file says:

# INSTALL
# ======
#
# You will need to have accessible to perl the paths to executables: t
+esseract and convert
# You will need ImageMagick installed.
# If the executables are not installed, testing will be incomplete, in
+stallation will still take place.

The documentation says:

Included in this package is t/tesseract_install_helper.pl which will c
+heck for packages needed.

So you need to install the ImageMagick software for your platform.

I'm wanting to install PSDF::OCR2. Thanks very much to marto for helping. I am having a problem installing the Image::OCR::Tesseract dependency and you suggested that I needed to install Image::Magick

I'm now seeing an error when installing Image::Magick: Magick.xs:60:10: fatal error: 'magick/MagickCore.h' file not found

A posting in StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12996578/how-to-tell-cpanm-imagemagick-about-header-location suggested "edit Makefile.PL (add header dir to includes)". Is that what should be done? What is the correct syntax for doing that?

I don't have much experience doing this and appreciate any help.

Here is my console:

Any suggestions for fixing this problem?

"you suggested that I needed to install Image::Magick"

Close, but I didn't say that. I actually suggested you install the ImagMagick software.

Image::Magick is not a dependency of Image::OCR::Tesseract. Image::Magick is an interface to ImageMagick.

Image::OCR::Tesseract uses one of the executables which make up the ImageMagick distribution.

Install ImageMagick and try to build Image::OCR::Tesseract. Report any problems. Incidentally, to install Image::Magick you need to have installed ImageMagick, as specified in the documentation.

Update: fixed formatting.

You need ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php before Image::Magick.
