Ubuntu 14.04 has tess 3.03 and lept 1.70.

I compiled tess 3.04 and lept 1.71, and installed them
   (and ran ldconfig so the new libraries would get used).

Is it ok to use the old tessdata from 3.03 that was installed from the Ubuntu package?  I start tess with
$ TESSDATA_PREFIX=/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/ tesseract ofilename ifilename quiet hocr

It seems to work fine, but maybe the training data needs to be freshened.

Thanks
Rick

There is no tesseract 3.04 - so you can not install it.
Your question indicates that you do not understand consequences of your action, so I strongly suggest you to revert to last stable release which is 3.02.02.

The output is:
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.04.00 with Leptonica

Would you not call that tess 3.04? When I run the tess installed from the Ubuntu package, that number is 3.03.nn.  Am I missing something here?

Ok, so what I have is the pre-release 3.04, and the Ubuntu package is the 3.03 'rc-1'. They both work well for me, thanks!

No you do not have pre-release 3.04. There is nothing like that (yet). 
Do not use unreleased (development) versions (unless you are developer who have some knowledge about project and its changes).
