Where does opencv install it's libs in ubuntu

Question

I have ubuntu 10 installed. I installed all the opencv packages I could find in the software center. I expect that it installs some .lib files somewhere that I can reference i

Answer 1

OpenCV libraries are installed as in .a(static library) or .so(dynamic library) format.

You can find OpenCV2 (i.e. C++ version) libraries (e.g. libopencv_core.so,libopencv_highgui.so etc) at /usr/local/lib. If you want libraries for c version only (e.g. libcv.a,libcxcore.a etc) you can find them at /usr/lib.
