in reply to Having problems with Image::OCR::Tesseract perl module installation on fedora 10.

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.

    Image::Magick isn't a problem as this module does not make use of Image::Magick
      The README specifically mentions tesseract and ImageMagick. Testing Image::Magick is a good way to see if ImageMagick is working properly.

        A better way is to let the Image::OCR::Tesseract do all the testing required.
