Thanks! I would have been hung up on building gocr for some time without your pointers…

Ant e-mailed me about the problems he was having. We determine that there’s a step missing from the Gocr build steps you need to run “make libs” before make install:

cd /tmp/OSRA/gocr-0.50pre-patched
./configure;
make libs;
sudo make install;

Ha! I think I figured out the problem, ./configure needs to be run first.

I cleaned out /usr/local/include/gocr/ . Then I grabbed the sources and tried rebuilding and encountered the same problem. The header files weren’t being copied!

This is what you have to do to build gocr:
cd /tmp/OSRA/gocr-0.50pre-patched/
./configure
sudo make install

And that’s it!

I’ll update the posting.

Hi Mick & Dave,

I have the same problem with GOCR. I’ve tried installing the patched version from the OSRA website, but the /usr/local/include/gocr directory remains empty after ‘sudo make install’.

OSRA configure is not happy – it looks in /usr/include/gocr then /usr/local/include/gocr for pgm2asc.h, which it can’t find!

The GOCR/src Makefile includes this list of .h files in variable INCLUDEFILES = pgm2asc.h output.h list.h unicode.h gocr.h pnm.h.

I’ve tried copying these files into /usr/include/gocr/, but that did not do the trick… (I can’t find a detailed explanation of the INSTALL function and how it works – it appears that MAKE INSTALL simply pastes the compiled files across to the destination dirs).

pgm2asc.h output.h list.h unicode.h gocr.h pnm.h

I’m interested to know how you fixed this problem!

Thanks,
Ant

That Sourceforge link doesn’t work for me. I downloaded all the packages from the Osra page at: http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/osra/#6 .

I’d suggest walking through the instructions again, and downloading the source code from the Osra page.

Thanks for the comment Saulustiano, I was wondering if this would still build on the latest versions of Ubuntu. I build SQLDev a few years ago and I’ve been upgrading my system a few times and SQLDev still works for me without me having to reinstall.

Dave, are you using the patched version of Gocr from the Osra download page at:

Thanks for the response Mick. The issue was that while gocr had built (and I could run it) there was an error in the make process which means that while /usr/local/include/gocr/ was created none of the headers were written to it. I’ve filed this on the Sourceforge page – but I’m currently stuck.

Thanks for the guide. I had the same problem Sergey faced, but thanks to his comment (and the whole tutorial) I could sucessfully install on my ubuntu 10.04 netbook.
