In my case, at present, I have downloaded tesseract 2.03 in folder
"deepayan" of  Home folder"sangeetha" and installed. under
/usr/bin/tesseract /usr/SHARE/tesseract  as could be seen
from the extract of terminal reproduced below:
[sangee...@sangu ~]$ whereis tesseract
tesseract: /usr/bin/tesseract /usr/share/tesseract
[sangee...@sangu ~]$

Whether tesseract 2.04 and tesseract 3.0 should be downloaded in the two
separate folders - say 'tess2.04" and 'tess 3.0" of Home "deepyan"  and
install by configuring as follows:

for tess2.03
./configure -- prefix=/user/share/tesseract  (existing)
/usr/bin/tesseract  (existing)

for "tess2.04" folder
./configure  -- prefix= /user/ temp/tesseract  ( IS IT CORRECT?)  how to
prefix for   "/usr /bin/tesseract-2.04/tesseract "  (is it correct?)

for "tess3.0" folder
./configure -- prefix=/user/local/tesseract  (is it correct?)   how to
prefix for   "/usr /bin/tesseract-3.0/tesseract " (is it correct?)
