Anybody know what these errors are that I'm seeing in FuzzyORC logs

If you have the FuzzyOcr source, go to directory samples and run:

$ spamassassin -x -t -D FuzzyOcr < ocr-jpg.eml

lots of output, should see
...
[3340] info: FuzzyOcr: Using jpegtopnm => /usr/local/bin/jpegtopnm
...
[3340] dbg: FuzzyOcr: Starting FuzzyOcr...
...
[2724] dbg: FuzzyOcr: Exec : /usr/local/bin/jpegtopnm
/tmp/.spamassassin3340ULRQYxtmp/image001.jpg
[3340] dbg: FuzzyOcr: Saved pid: 2724
[2724] dbg: FuzzyOcr: Stdout: >/tmp/.spamassassin3340ULRQYxtmp/image001.jpg.pnm
[2724] dbg: FuzzyOcr: Stderr: >>/tmp/.spamassassin3340ULRQYxtmp/image001.jpg.err
[3340] dbg: FuzzyOcr: Elapsed [2724]: 0.358430 sec. (/usr/bin/jpegtopnm: exit 0)

except you will not see the "exit 0".

To save the error file (which may give a more detailed error message) change
your FuzzyOcr.cf, at the end uncomment:

focr_keep_bad_images 1

then look at the /tmp/<whatever>/image001.jpg.err and the other .err file
(raw.eml.error or something similar).

No, the first is for finding executables, the second is for finding libraries
and it's not usually needed (the system has a global library path, but it
depends on the system... Linux uses ldconfig, Solaris crle, ... to configure
that path).
