However, such a link is missing for libopencv_gpu.so.2.3. Following is the output of "ls -al libopencv_gpu*" under /usr/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 13 10:47 libopencv_gpu.so.2.3 -> libopencv_gpu.so.2.3.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 214476 Feb 13 10:48 libopencv_gpu.so.2.3.1 Following is the desired output lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 3 13:17 libopencv_gpu.so -> libopencv_gpu.so.2.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 13 10:47 libopencv_gpu.so.2.3 -> libopencv_gpu.so.2.3.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 214476 Feb 13 10:48 libopencv_gpu.so.2.3.1 There should be a soft link libopencv_gpu.so to libopencv_gpu.so.2.3. Absence of this link casues problems in using CMake to auto detect and link against that library. When I created the desired link, CMake was able to correctly link against the library. I am not aware of any other potential problems caused by this bug.
