Hi everyone, I did originally try to install the source from SVN, but could never get it to work for various reasons. Eventually i just installed with Homebrew which was easy and effective. Tesseract worked and I've been testing with it ever since, but it appears to be an "incomplete" install as I don't see a lot of the system files that are mentioned by others in posts to this group.
So I had to suck it up and go back to trying to install tesseract from SVN. The problem is my Mac is on OS X.8, so I first had to install MacPorts so that I could install autoconf, automake and libtools along with leptonica. Then I had to add aclocal to my $PATH so autogen.sh would work. Then I could follow the steps on https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TesseractSvnInstallation (skipping the apt-get part since I did that with MacPorts instead.) Then I had to set $TESSDATA_PREFIX to my new dir. Now it's working and I can see word confidence levels too. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
