Getting started with tesseract

[Honkwan Wu]

My goal is for the follow piece of code to return success:

tesseract::TessBaseAPI tess;

if (tess.Init(NULL, "eng")) {

  // Unsuccessful.

}

I followed the setup instructions here, things compile fine but always go to the unsuccessful branch.

I tried lots of approach and searched pages on Google for the past 8 hours... :( Would be great if someone can help,

Let me know what details are needed.
