Hello, I use tesseract on Mandrivalinux without problem. But I compiled it by myself ;-) I am not satiffied with packages provided by Mandriva team ;-) e.g. they included tesseract 3.00 to cooker but without English language data, they did not include leptonica library, that is used for image handling...)
If you are able to compile software by yourself than try the latest svn version [1]. Do not forget first install leptonica [2] ;-).
