Thank you for you prompt response! Installing tesseract with apt-get cleared the initial error however I now get a similar error:
configure: error: Could not find openFST! Choose --without-fst if you do not want to use it So installed openFST but am not sure how to run it or validate the install. Also, is it possible that I am not installing from the correct location? I'm somewhat new on Ubuntu. To install openFST for example, form /usr/local/src/ I ran: wget http://mohri-lt.cs.nyu.edu/twiki/pub/FST/FstDownload/openfst-1.1.tar.gz tar zxvf openfst-1.1.tar.gz cd openfst-1.1 ./confugure make make install Throws no errors during the build. That should do it, no? Looks to be all there in /usr/local/bin/. No sign of the others installing there which I still think is strange. Do I need the openFST library to run Ocropus? Thanks again for your help! -Michael On Mar 23, 2009, at 9:35 AM, Ilya Mezhirov wrote: > > Hi Michael, > > If you run Ubuntu 8.10, you can just apt-get install tesseract-ocr-dev > and tesseract-ocr-eng (or another language pack).
