could not initialize Tesseract API with language=eng!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

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

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

Please provide any additional information below.

code：
private static final String TESSBASE_PATH = "/mnt/sdcard/tesseract/";
    private static final String DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = "eng";
    private static final String IMAGE_PATH = "/mnt/sdcard/test.jpg";
    private static final String EXPECTED_FILE = TESSBASE_PATH + "tessdata/" + DEFAULT_LANGUAGE

final TessBaseAPI baseApi = new TessBaseAPI();
        baseApi.init(TESSBASE_PATH, DEFAULT_LANGUAGE);
        final Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.test);
        //digits is a .jpg image I found in one of the issues here.
        ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
        img.setImageBitmap(bmp);//I can see the ImageView. So we know that it should work if I sent it to the setImage()
        baseApi.setImage(bmp);
        Log.v("Kishore","Kishore:Working");//This statement is never reached. Futhermore, on putting some more Log.v commands in the setImage function, I found out that the native function nativeSetImagePix is never accessed. I have attached the Logcat output below to show that it is not accessed.

        String outputText = baseApi.getUTF8Text();
        Log.v("Kishore","Kishore:"+outputText);
        baseApi.end();
        bmp.recycle();
error:
could not initialize Tesseract API with language=eng!

thanks advances!!!!
