I was following this example and received the following error when running make

I have successfully installed opencv on Raspberry Pi 3 by following the steps in the link http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/02/23/install-opencv-and-python-on-your-raspberry-pi-2-and-b/

The changes i made while following the steps are:

  1. Use 'aptitude' instead of 'apt-get' and accept all recommendations given
  2. Before following Step 11, run 'source ~/.profile'. To quit, run 'deactivate'

Hope this helps :)
