GIF-LIB error: Failed to Read from given file. [13690] warn: MLDBM error: Second level tie failed, "No such file
after some monkeying about, it seems that the GIF-LIB error is typical/common for non-gif &/or corrupt images. these then, apparently, get "Fixed" and scanned. the MLDBM error turned out to be a missing hash db file. afaict, fuzzyocr does not create them if missing. so a 'touch' and correct perms/own fix that problem. so, i'm up & running with fuzzyocr, testing/scanning with no errors.
