Can't symlink into tessdata anymore?

[John Muccigrosso]

Relevant earlier discussion here.

I install tesseract via Homebrew and have been symlinking tessdata into the appropriate directory. When I did this this morning, I got complaints from tesseract that the language files were not there:

Error: failed to load /usr/local/Cellar/tesseract/3.05.02/share/tessdata/ita.special-words

if I try "-l ita". This problem goes away when I copy the relevant files instead of symlinking them.

This seems like a bug to me.

symlink is filesystem feature and tesseract use standard C++ function for reading/writing files from filesystem, so there is no reason why there would be bug in tesseract.

But it seems that you do something non standard because ita.special-words is not file that would tesseract open if you just specified  "-l ita".

If I got it right, that confirm that there is no problem/but related to symlink, but outdated itatraineddata.

Right?

Sorry, my bad here. I pasted the wrong error. (I'm on that issue, so I'm well aware of that problem.)

I was having a problem doing the symlinking, but it's working now, so I must have done something else wrong. Apologies.
