Thank you shree. I ran into the same issue with the Linux install. I had to wget eng.traineddata into tessdata/ as it was not delivered with the source installation. Thus, I should be able to run tesseract on OS X from the HEAD source installation. My only issue is then executing make training, which bails when trying to link libgobject.
