Do I need special librairy to make it work. I have this message in the report section.

XMP library is not available SXMP library is not available
Functions SXMP are not available on the system. XMP metadata will not be extracted.

Also, I specified field in CCK as specified in readme file and look at the help section and nothing seems to be working. Is it because of the missing librairy ?

Thanks for the help.

After looking at logs I figured it was missing a config in php. Make the change and it work good !

Where can the library be found? How can they be installed?
There are no requirements described in the readme file.

Using XMP is not as easy as exif or iptc. XMP is not provided in the core PHP librairies.
You can download the library here :

But you will probably need to compile the library and its depencendies : XMPToolkit and so on (provided by Adobe).

Hello,

I have the same message in the repports status page:

XMP library is not available	SXMP library is not available
Functions SXMP are not available on the system. XMP metadata will not be extracted.

So do I need to install the library in drupal or on the server (Ubuntu 10.04) ?

If Ubuntu, is there a special package(s) to install please ?

Thank you for response.

sw3b, you posted that you were missing a config in php. Can you tell us what that config is? I'm seeing the same behavior. Thanks.

The said library is not even available from the given link (anymore). I figure this renders the module useless so far, which is sad. What about removing the dependency? Anyone tried that? Would be really nice - since I do not need any XMP feature...

the dependency was never required. the *warning* message is just to rember user using xmp that it will not work.
