What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tesseract-1.04b.tar.gz on linux (Fedora 5)

Please provide any additional information below.

I doubt it is relevant: "configure" gave one warning: "`missing' script is
too old or missing"

I had the same problem on FC6.  The workaround is to use GCC 3.4 instead of 
4.1. 
(Both are available in Fedora Core 6's repositories.)

It may be better to retitle the issue to "compile error with GCC 4.1."
