Can't read file to pix

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. See code below 

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

1.00. ndk-build on debian squeeze. Eclipse helios on Windows 7, Android SDK 3.0 
API 11.

Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks for the installation instructions, everything built without any 
problems. However, when I try to read a file (I am trying ReadFile directly 
since setImage falls over at the same place) I get:

03-30 14:31:49.913: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(598): Caused by: 
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to read pix from file

So this is my code:

TessBaseAPI api = new TessBaseAPI();
boolean ok = api.init(dir, "eng");
String testImg = getFilesDir().toString() + "/digits.jpg";
File f = new File(testImg);
ImageView im = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(testImg);
im.setImageBitmap(bm);
if (f == null || !f.canRead() || f.length()<1 ) {
  Log.e("ocr", testImg+ " is not readable");
} else {
  Log.i("ocr", "Trying to read file");
  Pix px = ReadFile.readFile(f);

}       }

The jpeg file is ok, since it displays in the ImageView, and contains digits 
0-9 (attached). I have also tried using ReadFile.readBitmap, but then I get 

03-30 12:07:56.143: ERROR/Leptonica(native)(507): Bitmap format is not supported

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ian

If tesseract requires an uncompressed image, why then does it support jpeg? As 
detailed above, since the Android implementation doesn't work with bitmaps, 
there's no alternative. (Setting the jpeg quality in the camera parameters with 
setJpegQuality(100) doesn't help.)

Removed libjpeg and added native bitmap support. Should be obsolete.
