I have used tesseract over several versions with Kubuntu. I just did an 
upgrade to Kubuntu 10.10 and installed tesseract from the repositories. I 
immediately ran into a well documented bug. The solution was to go to 
tesseract 3.0. I downloaded the zip file and followed the compile/install 
directions. All seemed to go well except the first execution ended with

tesseract: error while loading shared libraries: libtesseract_api.so.3: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked the directories and the tesseract executable modules are in 
/usr/local/bin and the various tesseract libraries are in /usr/local/lib The 
error lib is a soft link to the full library in the same directory. Both these 
directories are in the PATH statement.

I am not an expert developer, I can stumble around some, so I'm not sure how 
to resolve this issue. Does anyone have a suggestion?

PS: I joined the Google group for tesseract-ocr and entered a question about 
this. It was directed to the moderators and I haven't seen anything since. 
That was early yesterday.
