So you can't get one of the prerequisites to install from your other thread? There's really no need to start a new thread. Have you read the INSTALL file, do you have the required programs and modules installed? Thanks for continually ignoring the formatting advice which has been pointed out to you several times now.

Image::OCR::Tesseract requires that you download and install tesseract. Also, you'll probably need the tessdoc. Another common problem is Image::Magick. Your best bet is to use yum to install ImageMagick and ImageMagick-devel. On my system, it has a problem with libMagickCore.so.4 not being found. Then try installing Image::Magick from CPAN.	[reply]

Image::Magick isn't a problem as this module does not make use of Image::Magick	[reply]

The README specifically mentions tesseract and ImageMagick. Testing Image::Magick is a good way to see if ImageMagick is working properly.	[reply]

The Image::OCR::Tesseract Makefile.PL file uses a local copy of Devel::AssertOS to determine your OS and either create the Makefile or not. If you're not getting a Makefile created, that'd be the first place to look. What is the value of $^O on your system?	[reply]

Look at the source of the module, its a one trick pony I wouldn't bother with this module, I'd simply use tesseract directly	[reply]

I recently worked on extraction of text from images in perl using tesseract. Below is the approach I followed and worked well for me: 1. Download executable of tessract-OCR. Best way to do that is using SVN link for download. Need to follow all steps in SVN link 2. It also has dependency on Leptonica 3. Once everything goes well install 'Image::OCR::Tesseract' from CPAN. If 1 and 2 works fine, all tests should pass and the installation should be successful. Let me know if this works for you.	[reply]
