OCR fails on assertion in tesseract about python-tesseract HOT 5 CLOSED

Have u tried the svn version?
http://code.google.com/p/python-tesseract/wiki/HowToCompilePythonTesseract

Tesseract-ocr is now included in the download list
http://code.google.com/p/python-tesseract/downloads/list

I will give the svn version a try if i find the time. 

does the amd64 also work on intel 32 bit?

I tried to build the svn version.

the build fails on:
