Issue importing the packages from of PaddleOCR, draw_ocr

[AGRocky]

Hi folks, Great day to Y'all. Please try helping me out with this.
I'd try running paddleocr in google colab but getting issue importing the packages from of PaddleOCR, draw_ocr. Below is the error message.
Error: Can not import paddle core while this file exists: /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/paddle/fluid/libpaddle.so
ImportError: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am also facing the same issue. It was working fine till yesterday, since today I am facing this error.

[AGRocky]

Exactly pls let me know if you find out anything.
Thank you

[joel1895]

I installed paddleocr gpu and it's working and much faster.

!pip install paddleocr
!python -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==2.5.0.post118 -f https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/whl/linux/mkl/avx/stable.html

[AGRocky]

Thank you so much @joel1895 it helped me. But the extraction is lil different with this dependencies

[joel1895]

Worked for me

Hi @AGRocky, You may try downgrading the paddle version to 2.4.2.

[AGRocky]

Hi @GreatV still it doesn't work!

Hi @promaprogga, please refer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72133316/libssl-so-1-1-cannot-open-shared-object-file-no-such-file-or-directory

[promaprogga]

didnt solve

[GreatV]

hi @promaprogga, You could try installing libssl on colab. Since your colab environment is UBUNTU.

hi @promaprogga, This issue has been fixed in the paddle develop branch.

• Fix Openssl bug Paddle#56555

You may now install the develop version to avoid this problem.

python -m pip install paddlepaddle==0.0.0 -f https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/whl/linux/cpu-mkl/develop.html

[promaprogga]

Still error @GreatV

@promaprogga, This is another error, please check if the model file is placed correctly.

[promaprogga]

Everything is in correct place

[GreatV]

Your cd command was not executed correctly.

[promaprogga]

run

%cd /content/PaddleOCR/ppstructure
!python /content/PaddleOCR/ppstructure/table/predict_table.py --det_model_dir=inference/en_ppocr_mobile_v2.0_table_det_infer --rec_model_dir=inference/en_ppocr_mobile_v2.0_table_rec_infer --table_model_dir=inference/en_ppocr_mobile_v2.0_table_structure_infer --image_dir=/content/drive/MyDrive/SSCL/Code/Table/image --rec_char_dict_path=../ppocr/utils/dict/table_dict.txt --table_char_dict_path=../ppocr/utils/dict/table_structure_dict.txt --det_limit_side_len=736 --det_limit_type=min --output=/content/drive/MyDrive/SSCL/Code/Table/output_paddle
it works but in csv there is no text

You don't face this issue on Ubuntu < 22.04 LTS

And on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, there is a solution:

wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.20_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.20_amd64.deb
