I've been trying to fix this error for quite some time now but nothing seems to work. Weird thing is, the gem used to work for me. I used it on quite a few images and it produced pretty good results. Then one day, requiring the gem just started throwing compilation errors.
I've read through the other Compilation Error posts but i don't think the same problem occurs here/the solution there didn't work for me.

Ruby version :

~$ ruby -v
ruby 2.4.0p0 (2016-12-24 revision 57164) [x86_64-linux]

Tesseract version :

~$ tesseract -v
tesseract 4.00.00alpha
 leptonica-1.74.1
  libjpeg 6b (libjpeg-turbo 1.3.1) : libpng 1.2.50 : libtiff 4.0.3 : zlib 1.2.8

 Found AVX
 Found SSE

OS : Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)

I built the leptonica and tesseract libraries from source and the tesseract command line tool works beautifully.

Here's the error output:
Within irb :

>> require 'tesseract'

require 'tesseract-ocr' produces the same error.

So on looking at the log file i noticed from the first part that stdint.h seems to be missing. But even after adding that header file the error doesnt change.

List of headers :

~$ ls /usr/include/tesseract/
apitypes.h  errcode.h        host.h               ocrclass.h      platform.h        serialis.h      thresholder.h
baseapi.h   fileerr.h        ltrresultiterator.h  osdetect.h      publictypes.h     stdint.h        unichar.h
basedir.h   genericvector.h  memry.h              pageiterator.h  renderer.h        strngs.h        unicharmap.h
capi.h      helpers.h        ndminx.h             params.h        resultiterator.h  tesscallback.h  unicharset.h

Please help.

UPDATE:

So i removed the tesseract version i had and built the 3.05.00 release. I still get a compilation error though. But this time the contents of the log file are different.

The fix from #50 does not work for me (or rather I don't understand how to apply it) as I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and not Mac.

On mac for several years only Tesseract 3.05 has been released on Homebrew, and this ruby wrapper doesn't support Tesseract > 3.03...
On Linux we restrict the tesseract version installed.
For Ubuntu:

apt-get install tesseract-ocr=3.03.02-3 tesseract-ocr-eng=3.02-2 \
tesseract-ocr-osd=3.02-2 tesseract-ocr-equ=3.02-2 \
tesseract-ocr-fra=3.02-2 libtesseract-dev=3.03.02-3 libtesseract3=3.03.02-3

For debian:

apt-get install tesseract-ocr=3.03.03-1 tesseract-ocr-eng=3.02-2 \
tesseract-ocr-osd=3.02-2 tesseract-ocr-equ=3.02-2 \
tesseract-ocr-fra=3.02-2 libtesseract-dev=3.03.03-1 libtesseract3=3.03.03-1

Then we need french extension and there is a naming error so we run this script:
https://gist.github.com/ShamoX/49143fa1b1a539fcd641b0c009c0f579

We do that from 2014... So we would appreciate that the #50 is accepted and a new release should be released.
