Do you need to also download the language data from the site and place
it into the /usr/local/share/tessdata/ folder? It's not included in the
download, so the application has no idea how to process text without
that data (it's pretty clearly stated on the tesseract-ocr site...).

I went back and re-read the install instructions and was pretty sure
that I did it correctly. Just to be sure I did a file search for any
thing with tess* in the name and deleted everything I could find,
except the original zip. I re-extracted it and did ./configure, sudo
make, and sudo make install. All seemed to run well. I did an execute
of tesseract on a file and got the same error about eng.traineddata.
Just as a shot in the dark I created that file in the correct location
with a touch command. I executed tesseract again and got a
segmentation fault.
I am attaching the install instructions from the tesseract-3.00 folder.
I appreciate the help as the Google site doesn't seem to respond to
questions.
