OK, can you send the brew file? It should be in /usr/local/Cellar, I think --- are you following this recipe here? http://braumeister.org/formula/tesseract
I applaud your foray into technical turf to solve the problem. I wish they had a more refined system for HomeBrew that was easy to use. I think you can move the downloaded file to somewhere in /usr/local/ And I assume you installed the HomeBrew system first, which required you to install the command line tools for Xcode? To use the formula above you'll need to install libtiff (which you'll see on the page). I'm not using my mac at the moment, but can look it up later... --Sven On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 1:07 PM, Marlene Blough <[email protected]>wrote: > Thank you Sven.
