Sikuli and Tesseract dependency problem

[worm]

Hello,

I'm having a few issues to use Sikuli (UI automation tool) on CentOS 5.10.

It's dependent on Tesseract 3.00 so I had to build it from sources since there is no rpm provided in either the default CentOS repo or EPEL for this version.

The problem is I can't make Tesseract build his libraries into /usr/lib64 which is the directory Sikuli looks for.
I've tried ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib64 but I get error: cannot install `libtesseract_main.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/local/lib.

Also it seems Sikuli only looks for libtesseract.so.3 whereas Tesseract builds all of these .so files : http://pastebin.com/KMa1TNn2
Here's the runtime error I get when trying to run a Sikuli test:

/root/sikuli/libs/libVisionProxy.so: libtesseract.so.3: Can't open shared object: No such file or directory of this type

Thank you in advance.

I haven't tried, but does the "CentOS 6.4 x86_64: How to Install SikuliX 1.0.1" from https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/236625 help?

I've tried using http://rpm.pbone.net/ to look for these rpm packages for C5 and RHEL5 using the advanced search.

1. Leptonica: only one package found fails to install with:

   error: Required dependencies:
   liblept.so.3()(64bit) is necessary for liblept-devel-1.69-2.1.x86_64
   liblept2 = 1.69 is necessary for liblept-devel-1.69-2.1.x86_64

   So I've build it using sources from here.
2. Tesseract: this package fails to install with:

   error: Required dependencies:
   libtesseract_api.so.3()(64bit) is necessary for tesseract-devel-3.01-51.1.x86_64
   libtesseract_ccstruct.so.3()(64bit) is necessary foris necessary for tesseract-devel-3.01-51.1.x86_64

   tesseract = 3.01 is necessary for tesseract-devel-3.01-51.1.x86_64

   this package fails to install with:

   error: Required dependencies:
   liblept.so.2()(64bit) is necessary for tesseract-3.01-51.1.x86_64

   Even though I built and installed Leptonica from sources:

   Code: Select all

   # locate liblept
   /usr/local/lib/liblept.a
   /usr/local/lib/liblept.la
   /usr/local/lib/liblept.so
   /usr/local/lib/liblept.so.2
   /usr/local/lib/liblept.so.2.0.0

   I've tried to symlink them:

   Code: Select all

   ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblept* /usr/lib64/
   ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblept* /usr/local/lib64/

   But it makes no difference.

What else could I try?
