tesseract engine (v 3.03) not found

Issue reported by anonymous at Bitbucket:

Hi!

ocrodjvu 0.7.16 does not find tesseract, installed in /usr/local/bin. I am using a svn version (r1037) of tesseract 3.03 which is able to output information using the -psm 0 option, on an ubuntu 12.04.3 64bit machine. I had similar Problems with the ocrodjvu package for Ubuntu 12.04 (version 0.7.7) with tesseract 3.01., but 0.7.16 was able to detect older tesseract versions.

~$ ocrodjvu --list-engines
cuneiform
gocr
ocrad

$ which tesseract
/usr/local/bin/tesseract

I created a symbolic link /usr/bin/tesseract as well, but without success

$ tesseract -v
tesseract 3.03
 leptonica-1.70
  libgif 4.1.6(?) : libjpeg 8b : libpng 1.2.46 : libtiff 4.0.3 : zlib 1.2.3.4 : webp 0.4.0

Minor correction: tesseract in version 3.02 is found by ocrodjvu (by mistake I wrote 3.01 above).

Moving the new tesseract-executable (3.03) to /usr/bin wasn't successful either.

Where can I download Tesseract 3.03?

https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ links only to 3.02, and there's no 3.02 in the svn repository either.

Hi! I used tesseract svn r1037, and compiled it. tesseract -v gave the information I posted above: 3.03

Hopefully should be fixed in 83c86b8b911f5ce56a7fe451315a66b9f625bcbf.
