Followed all the MacPorts instructions though I had to force it to activate many things apparently because they were installed already using the suggested "port -f activate xxx".
When running configure it gave the error: * leptonica 1.74 or higher is required* However mac ports reports: The following ports are currently installed: leptonica @1.74.1_1 (active) Frustrating! I only want to build the tesseract library, and I do not understand any of this stuff. MacPorts has littered my disk with thousands of renamed files *.mp_1493715497 which I don't want. Is there an easy way to get rid of them? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
