OCR - tesseract - error message
Woof to all Puppians
I wish to use optical character recognition software.
I down-loaded tesseractOCR as a 'deb' file.
Puppy asked me if I wanted to install tesseract (it's a command-line OCR package). Naturally, I said, "Yes."
This is what I find using which:
which tesseract
/usr/bin/tesseract
Here is what ls tells me:
ls /usr/bin/tess* -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21924 Apr 8 2018 /usr/bin/tesseract
When I try to use tesseract i get this error message. (Plus I include a few clues about environment (and so on)).
pwd #this is my working directory.
/mnt/sda3/zTmp
ls
words_d10.jpg #this is the snapshot of the text I want to convert.
tesseract ./words_d10.jpg ot_fil
tesseract: error while loading shared libraries: libtesseract.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I am using uPupbb32, installed using mikeslr (or big-Pups) copy files with ROX to a 'BOOT' directory.
I am confident uPupBB is working as expected.
Can anyone give me a link to explain the error message and how to fix the problem.
Have I loaded/installed only part of the environment needed by tesseract?
Thanks from cobaka
Dunno why I got big characters, but you can understand what's going on.
