What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running "make" to install tesseract-ocr-3.03 from source code
checked-out from svn
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Getting error:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

tesseract-ocr-3.03 source code (r1094) from:
svn checkout http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
tesseract-ocr-read-only

leptonica-1.70:
Built and installed from source code: leptonica-1.70.tar.gz

Ubuntu 12.10


Please provide any additional information below.

Followed compiling instructions:

The message statutes that tesseract library can not find pixGenerateCIData
function (provided by leptonica 1.70), so this is not tesseract issue, but
leptonica installation issue.
IMO there could be 2 reasons for error:
1. you did not uninstall old leptonica library properly before installing
1.70 version
2. you did not install leptonica 1.70 properly.

Any chance you can toss us a bone on how to find information on removing
old libraries or properly installing leptonica 1.70? I have the same
problem, but am following instructions to no avail. Thanks.

I found that the earlier version of leptonica was installed (by default?)
in /usr/include/leptonica and /usr/lib/leptonica and 1.71 (I didn't try
1.70) was installed in /usr/local/include/leptonica and
/usr/local/lib/leptonica.

Easiest solution -

# rm -rf /usr/include/leptonica /usr/lib/leptonica

as the /usr/local/*/leptonica were being searched AFTER the
/usr/*/leptonica versions.

Ihave the same problem. leptonica is installed correctly - at least "make
check" fpr leptonica 1.71 says that all tests were passed.
Nevertheless, the directories in question seem not to exist.

I do have /usr/local/include/leptonica, but I do have only liblept*-files
in /usr/local/lib - no subdirectory "Leptonica"

I had the same issue, I rebuilt leptonica and change the prefix dir to /usr

#./configure --prefix /usr

That then installed the liblept in /usr/lib and I was able to carry on
compiling tesseract-ocr.
