ubuntu opencv Error: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

you may have correctly installed Opencv and built your projects,  but when you run the application or debug it,  such error will take place

TO SOVLE IT

first, make sure your  shared libs can be found  under  the directory /usr/local/lib

then you should make  a declaration of  the lib's directory in a configuration file, its name should be like /etc/ld.so.conf.d/xxx.conf

for example:

my opencv have installed in /usr/local/opencv

then I should create a configuration file and edit it as following

cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
touch opencv.conf
vim opencv.conf
/usr/local/opencv

to make sure it will work,  use the command to print all the shared libs . Do you find them ？

sudo ldconfig -v | grep opencv

my output is :

	libopencv_photo.so.2.4 -> libopencv_photo.so.2.4.10
	libopencv_video.so.2.4 -> libopencv_video.so.2.4.10
	libopencv_calib3d.so.2.4 -> libopencv_calib3d.so.2.4.10
