after installing it, I tried the example and I got this:

Error in pixReadStream: Unknown format: no pix returned
Error in pixRead: pix not read

try identifying the image before feeding it to the software using the ImageMagick tool "identify" or GIMP/Photoshop . It must be a valid image (jpg png tiff or gif) <--- Image formats that the leptonica library was compiled with

identify ../misc/input/receipt_2.jpg

the following will be written to output

identify: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x76 0x65 `../misc/input/receipt_2.jpg' @ error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/348.

It is therefore clear that the example images have somehow experienced a regression and are no longer useable. At least in my machine configuration . I get The exact same errors as you when running the unit tests or the software on its own.

Using another image that i made myself shows that the software processes the image without the errors above (albeit with other types of errors that are irrelevant in this context)
