It would appear that at some time you must have had a version of
tesseract in /usr/bin, which is then cached. For [t]csh the rehash
command will reset things, for [ba]sh there is something similar but I
can't recall the command offhand -- alternatively starting a new
terminal window ought to solve the problem, and logging out and logging
back certainly should.
