[help-GIFT] Using GIFT

[Majid NAJJAR]

Hi, GIFT is said to be a great tool to find similar images.
After days of fighting I've been able to install GIFT 0.1.14 on Linux openSUSE 
11.0. But i don't know what to do with it !!!
I don't want to read and compare images from a database  ( i will do it later 
on ) but i need to do it from a specific folder.

in /usr/local/bin i've executed ./gift-add-collection.pl /home/maj/Desktop/Logo/
then executed ./gift



The current configuration directory is: /home/maj
----------------------------------------
Opening port 12789
----------------------------------------
TCP socket successfully initialized:9
TCP socket successfully initialized:10
Waiting for connection...



A new folder was Logo_thumbnails but nothing inside it.


I've tried to repeat the operation but when i've launched the 
./gift-add-collection.pl /home/maj/Desktop/Logo/
an error showed up:

PROGRESS: 99%


Copying /home/maj/gift-config.mrml to /home/maj/gift-config.mrml-old

XML::DOM::Attr=ARRAY(0x8aa482c)
Can't locate object method "getAttribute" via package "XML::DOM::Attr" at 
./gift-add-collection.pl line 796,  line 44.


Is it normal to have such error? And how can I use GIFT in order to find 
similar images ? Would you please give me some uselful tutorials ?!

NB: I'm new to Linux so please give me a clear explanation.

Thanks in advance,
