Reading image files does not work in case of symlinks in the path

[larrasket]

Current Behavior

Reading /tmp/tesseract.png results in:

Error in fopenReadStream: failed to open locally with tail tesseract.png for filename /tmp/tesseract.png
Leptonica Error in findFileFormat: image file not found: /tmp/tesseract.png
Error in fopenReadStream: failed to open locally with tail �PNG for filename �PNG
Leptonica Error in pixRead: image file not found: �PNG
Image file �PNG cannot be read!
Error during processing.

However, reading without the tmp symbolic link (which is the case in Mac):

larrasket [~]$ tesseract /private/tmp/tesseract.png stdout
Estimating resolution as 144

Which works properly.

Expected Behavior

Reading working properly in both cases.
