Thanks, Brad. I've been trying to install OCRopus on my Fedora 11 machine as well for a master's thesis at Boise State University. I've gone through your list installing what I can with the package manager, but am wondering about the Tesseract engine itself. The website containing the code (http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/) states that the only supported platforms are Ubuntu, Windows and possibly MAC OS. Has anyone that you know of or that's in this group run it successfully on Fedora? I'm also wondering about libleptonica-dev since it appears to be a Debian package.

Could one of you please share with me the list of dependencies you installed (translated from ubuntu-speak). I didn't install a particular list of dependencies - my machine already has quite a lot of development packages installed, so this isn't so simple.
