I installed tesseract with configure, make, make install, then tried to run it but got the following error message: Unable to load unicharset file /usr/local/share/tessdata/eng.unicharset . In the README file there is: Non-Windows: You have to tell Tesseract through a standard unix mechanism where to find its data directory. You must either: ./configure make make install to move the data files to the standard place, or: export TESSDATA_PREFIX="directory in which your tessdata resides/" (or equivalent) in your .profile or whatever or setenv to set the environment variable. Note that the directory must end in a / HAVING tesseract and tessdata IN THE SAME DIRECTORY DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE. . I tried with `export TESSDATA_PREFIX="/usr/local/share/tessdata/"', but nothing. Now I'm stuck. Any suggestion please? Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
