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:

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.
