Thanks marco for you explanation.
As I can find liblept.{a,la,so} in lib folder and leptonica in include
folder, I assume I have installed leptonica successfully. So the question
would be how to let tesseract/configure know where the libs and headers are
when I try to compile tesseract. Is that correct?
