Public bug reported: Tesseract fails with:
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! Could not initialize tesseract. when no eng.traineddata is present in "tessdata", even if a different language file has been specified. As far as I can tell, this was introduced in r760 (http://code.google.com/p/tesseract- ocr/source/detail?r=760&path=/trunk/api/tesseractmain.cpp) by the addition of api.Init call with NULL language (which defaults to 'eng'), and fixed in r811 (http://code.google.com/p/tesseract- ocr/source/detail?r=811&path=/trunk/api/tesseractmain.cpp). ** Affects: tesseract (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1189995 Title: Tesseract fails if there's no eng.traineddata present To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tesseract/+bug/1189995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
