unicharset_extractor error

[anne]

Hi, I got this error while running the unicharset_extractor command "ERROR: shared library version mismatch (was 4.1.0-rc1-170-gb6bf, expected 4.1.0-rc2-48-g5320

". I have already uninstalled Tesseract and reinstalled it again but i still keep getting this error. Any suggestions on how I can solve this?

[Shree Devi Kumar]

You need to make sure that you build/install tesseract as well as training_tools, otherwise they may get out of sync.

How are you reinstalling it?

i did "sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr"

[Shree Devi Kumar]

What is your Ubuntu version?

Are you using the ppa for installing?

Also check if you have two versions of program installed?

[anne]

I'm using ubuntu version 18.04

and if I check for tesseract's version this is what I get

tesseract 4.1.0-rc1-170-gb6bf
 leptonica-1.78.0
  libjpeg 8d (libjpeg-turbo 1.5.2) : libpng 1.6.34 : libtiff 4.0.9 : zlib 1.2.11
 Found AVX2
 Found AVX
 Found SSE

[Shree Devi Kumar]

what's the output of

which tesseract

which text2image

which unicharset_extractor

tesseract -v

text2image -v

unicharset_extractor -v

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove tesseract-ocr

also, in your tesseract directory

make clean
make uninstall

Then reinstall again by

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alex-p/tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y \
  libleptonica-dev \
  libtesseract4 \
  libtesseract-dev \

I'm sorry if this may sound dumb but uh, where exactly is the tesseract directory located?

[Shree Devi Kumar]

You would have had tesseract directory in case you had built it from source.

>I still have the same error

are you still getting same version numbers?

As for the errors, I removed tesseract again after that hence the output for "sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove tesseract-ocr" but yes, I still got the same version numbers when I checked it before removing it.

[Shree Devi Kumar]

Please run following commands again, just to check

what's the output of

To be honest, I am very confused right now. I'm new to Ubuntu and Tesseract so if my questions are  a bit eccentric, I do apologize for that.

[Shree Devi Kumar]

which tesseract: /snap/bin/tesseract

which text2image: no output

which unicharset_extractor: no output

This shows that you have a version of tesseract installed in  /snap/bin/tesseract

This needs to be removed.

I removed it, checked which commands to which no outputs are shown.

Checked versions of tesseract, text2image, unicharset_extractor, console log tells me there is no such file or directory.

Reinstalled tesseract, and I still get the same version number and error

[Shree Devi Kumar]

I am at the limit of my Linux knowledge now :-(

Someone else will need to help you fix the library mismatch.

Also try:

locate tesseract

ldconfig -p | grep tesseract

ls -l /usr/local/lib/libtesseract*

and run:

sudo ldconfig

after you uninstall tesseract (or even right now).

[Stefan Weil]

Programs installed in /usr/bin typically should not get shared libraries from /usr/local/lib,

so /usr/local/lib/libtesseract.so.4 looks bad.

Please try

    ls /usr/local/lib/libtesseract.so.4

    dpkg -S /usr/local/lib/libtesseract.so.4

I expect that the library has not the same timestamp as the two executables.

The 2nd command looks where the shared library comes from.

[Stefan Weil]

Anne, you have a /usr/local/bin/pytesseract which also installed /usr/local/lib/libtesseract.so.4.

That conflicts with /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtesseract.so.4.

Maybe it is sufficient to rename or remove /usr/local/lib/libtesseract.so.4.

[anne]

i get this result from the ls command: /usr/local/lib/libtesseract.so.4

but when I ran dpkg, it said that there is no path matching the pattern path but when I look at my directories, it's there.

I'll try removing it now and maybe uninstalling pytesseract for now.

[anne]

I tried ldd /usr/bin/tesseract

and this is the result

libtesseract.so.4 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtesseract.so.4 (0x00007ff4ef930000).

However I still have this libtesseract.so.4.0.1 in /usr/local/lib. Should I also remove this?

[anne]

Oh wait, my unicharset_extractor is working now. That libtesseract.so.4 must have been the culprit all along. Thank you very much for your help Stefan and to the others too as well :)
