Error: Illegal min or max specification!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Downloaded the leptonica 1.72
1.1. ./configure
1.2. make
1.3. sudo make install
1.4. sudo ldconfig

2. Downloaded wget tesseract 3.02
2.1. ./autogen.sh
2.2. ./configure
2.3. make
2.4. sudo make install
2.5. sudo ldconfig

3. Create a project on Eclipse Luna with de example code of Tess4J, with all 
the libraries imported on the classpath

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was expecting a text from the image but I got this:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
LinuxMint 17.1
Eclipse Luna
Tesseract 3.03
Leptonica 1.72

I have already set the LC_NUMERIC=C through the terminal. But the error pesists.
I have tried setting the LC_NUMERIC using setTessVariable but it isn't working 
either

public class OCR {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
            File arquivo = new File("/home/gsouza/Desktop/imagemocr.jpg");
            Tesseract tesseract = Tesseract.getInstance();
            tesseract.setTessVariable("LC_NUMERIC", "C");

        try {
            String result = tesseract.doOCR(arquivo);

            System.out.println(result);
        } catch(TesseractException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}
