I\'m trying to run some precompiled code (source code is not available) on Ubuntu, which requires openCV to be installed. I installed the latest version of openCV (from the SVN)
Yes, the library names have changed. Try OpenCV 2.1 or 2.0 (it changed either for 2.2 or 2.1 i think). If your precompiled code is for ubuntu, why didn't you install the ubuntu opencv package?
