I've had tesseract and Tess4J running on my MBP for a while now. Today I started to migrate my app to the server and started installing everything on the server. Prior to running Tess4J in tomcat I tried to run a simple java program to make sure everything is fine and dandy. It's not...
tesseract myimage.jpg mytext
produces dataHowever, running my simple class that useses Tess4j produces this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'tesseract': libtesseract.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What I've done so far
sudo ldconfig
after installing tesseract/usr/local/lib/libtesseract.so
Folder on server contains these files:
myimge.png
ghost4j-0.3.1.jar
jai_imageio.jar
jna.jar
maslab.jar
pngj.jar
tess4j.jar
TesseractExample.class
TesseractExample.java
tesseract -v produces:
tesseract -v
tesseract 3.02.02
leptonica-1.69
libjpeg 6b : libpng 1.2.49 : libtiff 3.9.4 : zlib 1.2.3
Question
How can I make Tess4J aware that libtesseract.so does exist?enter code here
I had this problem too.
Did you run the following after installing tesseract:
sudo ldconfig
That fixed it for me.
