Re: Image-ExifTool make test fails

Hi Michael,

Thanks for reporting this problem.

I suspect the two errors are related since both of those tests involve copying information from t/images/IPTC-XMP.jpg, but from the message I can't figure out what the exact cause could be.

If you could send me the resulting t/IPTC-XMP_4_failed.jpg, I may be able to figure out what is going on. My email is phil at owl.phy.queensu.ca.

Re: Image-ExifTool make test fails

Hi Michael,

I haven't yet heard back from you, and I'm about to go away on vacation for 3 weeks, so it looks like I'll take care of this when I get back if you're still having problems then.

Re: Image-ExifTool make test fails

With the help of Kevin Myer (thanks!) I have been able to patch this problem. It turns out that on RHEL 3 the default LANG setting is UTF8 which for some reason causes images in memory to be converted to UTF-8 data.

The patch converts the image back to a byte stream if necessary, and appears in ExifTool version 6.31 which is now available from the ExifTool home page.
