Common issues - ROS Indigo

Cannot find libopencv while make ros

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopencv_videostab.so.2.4.8', needed by `/home/john/Workspace/MYNT-EYE-S-SDK/wrappers/ros/devel/lib/libmynteye_wrapper.so'.  Stop.

Solution 1) Install OpenCV 2:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libcv-dev

Solution 2) Install OpenCV 3 & re-compiled cv_bridge:

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-opencv3

git clone https://github.com/ros-perception/vision_opencv.git
mv vision_opencv/cv_bridge/ MYNT-EYE-S-SDK/wrappers/ros/src/

Then run make ros again
