Have just installed ver 10.3
(new to the subject but I want to set gps tags in photos)
I get this message

>exiftool
"Open" is not exported by the Image::ExifTool module
Can't continue after import errors at /usr/bin/exiftool line 33.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/exiftool line 33.


I installed as per instructions and had no errors (see attachment)
I saw an earlier post https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,3886.msg18013.html#msg18013
which suggests it might be a problem with libraries?
Should I download an earlier version.


perl Makefile.PL
    make test
    sudo make install




I'm running Linux Mint 17.3 XFCE (based on Ubuntu  14.04. )

Do you mean version 10.03?

It sounds like you have other versions of ExifTool that were installed on your system using other techniques.  If you remove the other versions then it should be OK.

BTW, you don't need to install ExifTool to run it.  Just unpack the distribution tarball and run "exiftool" from there.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thanks for your replay
Yes I did mean 10.13.
I did have a previous version around.
So I removed all references to ExifTool and carried out 'manual' uninstall.
Re-copied and unpacked as per webpage.
All seems OK now.
Thanks again
