http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/Compiling
The instructions are at this link are no good for someone like me who has never compiled, built, or made a package. They say "the compilation process should be familiar." Well that's not the case for me. The instructions said to do ./configure but when I did, nothing happened. Then I tried to unpack all the files into my download directory, then I tried to 'mv tesseract-ocr/tessdata $TESSDATA_PREFIX' if defined TESSDATA_PREFIX' but nothing happened either. I followed the instructions as best I could and read the FAQ but I think the process failed because the instructions are written for people who have done this before. I don't even know what version of tesseract I have or haven't managed to install. I think I am still stuck in an old version from my L(ubuntu) 1.10 Linux version 3.0.0-22-generic-pa installation, because when I check the man tesseract page it tells me 2009 and there is no instruction about checking the version. I also don't know how to check directories to see if stuff has been installed properly or where it should have been installed. The instructions assume I know about these things. I'd be grateful for any help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
