The tesseract version (at least, that provided by Ubuntu) is 3.02.01-2

How do I get this to compile?

    Turns out Tesseract changed their public api in v 3.02 compared to 3.01, so the ReadConfigFile method only takes one parameter. Workaround: delete the second parameter in lib/tesseract/c/baseapi.rb:159 as per https://github.com/cwalsh/ruby-tesseract-ocr/commit/58d5d17d8c98feaaceacf78ae7dec67ea8c4a963.

    Meh is committing a fix that works for both 3.01 and 3.02.

    Update: Fixed in tesseract-ocr v0.1.5
