You have been building/installing tesserocr against an outdated libtesseract, which is not installed anymore/properly. It should pull in libtesseract.so.4 (stable) or libtesseract.so.5 (development). Try removing/uninstalling your libtesseract-dev (or do make uninstall in your Tesseract source tree), then installing it again.
