I used these instructions which worked correctly in Centos

Install Tesseract OCR libs from sources in Centos

Download Leptonica and Teseract sources:

$ wget http://www.leptonica.org/source/leptonica-1.69.tar.gz
$ wget https://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-ocr-3.02.02.tar.gz

Configure, compile, install libs:

 $ tar xzvf leptonica-1.69.tar.gz      
 $ cd leptonica-1.69      
 $ ./configure
 $ make
 $ sudo make install

 $ tar xzf tesseract-ocr-3.02.02.tar.gz
 $ cd tesseract-3.01
 $ ./autogen.sh
 $ ./configure
 $ make
 $ sudo make install
 $ sudo ldconfig

Download languages (english) and copy to tessdata folder:

$ wget http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz       
$ tar xzf tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz       
$ sudo cp tesseract-ocr/tessdata/* /usr/local/share/tessdata

and enjoy it ;)
