Verify that the file has been copied, and that the size is not 0: ls -al /usr/local/share/tessdata/ If the files are not present, you probably tried to copy them without root privileges. On Ubuntu, you can execute a command with root privileges by using the 'sudo' command. On systems without sudo configured, you can use 'su -c'. sudo cp eng/* /usr/local/share/tessdata instead of cp eng/* /usr/local/share/tessdata While I'm answering you, let me explain why I declined your chat request.
