New issue 816 by DannySal...@gmail.com: Error opening data file
/usr/local/share/tessdata/eng.traineddata
http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/issues/detail?id=816

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running tesseract off eclipse
2. Builds fine
3. Runtime errors

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should see the tif image converted to text. Tried with jpg as well.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

tesseract 3.02 on ubuntu, using eclipse

Please provide any additional information below.

The error message I get is the following

Error opening data file /usr/local/share/tessdata/eng.traineddata
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the
parent directory of your "tessdata" directory.
Failed loading language 'eng'
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
Image file phototest.tif cannot be opened!

I have copied the tessdata into that directory, I even double checked
with 'ls /usr/local/share/tessdata/' and the file eng.traineddata is in
there.
Seems like some kind of path issue to me, but idk what it could be.

For running tesseract you do not need eclipse.
Please post error revelent to tesseract-ocr only!
If you need help with using eclipse check tesseract forum (or better some
eplise forum).
