can't use sikuli on Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon

Asked by Tushar More

I think the new Cinnamon Desktop introduced in Linux Mint 13 is messing up with something and I am unable to capture any screenshot of bottom taskbar / Menu button (OS GUI elements ) on LM12 Sikuli was working smoothly ... please suggest me in simple (non-geeky) language what needs to be done....
here is the error log - http://codepad.org/f9kmfhW5

It seems that LM13 comes with Tesseract 3 (the OCR stuff Sikuli needs on a machine to run).

The current version of Sikuli still needs Tesseract 2.04.
So you have to install this on your machine.

Just figured our temporary solution .... I am taking screenshots manually and cropping clickable sections using GIMP rather than using Take screenshot button in sikuli I am using insert image :) .... hope Sikuli supports latest version of tesseract soon... keep up the good work folks :D
