Peasyglue for Fossa64 9.5 [SOLVED]

I would like to use Peasyglue on Fossa64 v9.5 and got a version from the old forum but it does not create the glued file and says "Gluing failed. Read the Help about making more Temporary space". I have looked at the help and created the /root.peasyglue file but dont know why it is still failing.
(Also tried redirecting the output file to a mounted HDD but no joy)

Any thoughts or alternatives?
Cheers!

@greengeek :-

Ian, are you still using Oz's "slimline" Fossa-mid for this? AFAIK, he left a lot of stuff out, didn't he? From what I know of Bill's 'Peasy' utilities, they all of them simply make use of existing binaries/commands/functions, so.....it's entirely possible summat ya need ain't there.

Just a thought.

(*shrug...*)

Mike. ;)

Yep, got it in one. Missing dep.
I got offtrack wondering what kind of "temp space" issue it was talking about.

Thanks for the tip. Used PPM to load the netpbm and it is all good now.
I tried #which poppler-utils but there was nothing found - but when I then tried to download poppler-utils via PPM it showed that a version was already installed. Not sure why "which" could not see it.

Thank you both for the help.
