I followed the instructions from 
http://sites.google.com/site/ocropus/install-mercurial
on a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 and noticed that the prerequisites
missed two important things:

build-essential
imagemagick

build-essential seems really obvious since that's what has g++ and so
on, but imagemagick I only noticed when it failed with convert not
found or something.

Also building ocropus failed eventually with errors like:

g++ -o ocr-tesseract/tesseract.o -c -g -fPIC -O3 -Wall -Wno-sign-
compare -Wno-write-strings -D__warn_unused_result__=__far__ -
D_BACKWARD_BACKWARD_WARNING_H=1 -fopenmp -DHAVE_LEPTONICA -I/usr/local/
include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/leptonica -I/usr/local/
include/leptonica -I/usr/local/include/leptonica -Iinclude -Iocr-utils
ocr-tesseract/tesseract.cc
ocr-tesseract/tesseract.cc:32:22: error: tordvars.h: No such file or
directory
ocr-tesseract/tesseract.cc:33:21: error: control.h: No such file or
directory
ocr-tesseract/tesseract.cc:34:22: error: tessvars.h: No such file or
directory

even though tordvars.h, etc are available in /usr/include/tesseract/

I'm assuming it's another unmet dependency because I got errors like
that when I was missing the two dependencies above, but I can't figure
out what the new missing dependency is. The scons error messages
aren't too informative and I'm not much of a coder (at all)

I am however very excited about seeing ocropus develop particularly
for English and Devanagari. Thanks,

Taxman
