Looks like it's a Python issue:

/tmp/opencv-ogPQ/opencv-2.4.6.1/modules/python/src2/cv2.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'Python.h' file not found
#include <Python.h>
         ^
/usr/local/Cellar/cmake/2.8.12/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /tmp/opencv-ogPQ/opencv-2.4.6.1/macbuild/CMakeFiles 

brew install python
pip-2.7 install numpy

fixes it.

[victusfate]

bumped into the same issue

make[2]: *** [modules/python/CMakeFiles/opencv_python.dir/src2/cv2.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [modules/python/CMakeFiles/opencv_python.dir/all] Error 2

think I got an older version working o by using this formula
https://gist.github.com/victusfate/6183649

with:

brew install opencv --env=std

ah here's the detail I need to remedy

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.dylib', needed by `lib/cv2.so'.  Stop.

so no Python.framework avail. gonna try switching to a homebrew python install as mentioned above

Same problem here, doesnot work

Hi!! similar problem here, no issues with python though.. not sure what my problem is.

[marbon87]

I had the same problem. I ran
xcode-select --install
After that, the installation of opencv works with brew

[chrism2671]

OK, so I installed python from brew along with numpy via pip (and made sure everything was up-to-date, and ran brew linkapps - and then amazingly it worked! Hurray! Version 2.4.6.1.

[chrism2671]

One other thing, I added the line from to .bash_profile from here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17502278/mac-lion-issue-with-opencv-and-python-2-7-5 (modifying it for my version) - it didn't work without this (segmentation fault).

[kirai]

Same here, fresh Mavericks install:

brew install opencv

[kirai]

it worked after installing python :) thanks @chrism2671 !

[jeffpolk230]

I'm newbie to opencv. If there's anyone got their opencv installed successfully yet couldn't import cv in python?
(shows segmentation fault 11, i've checked with Homebrew/homebrew#16016 this post and still the same problem)
thanks in advance

[chrism2671]

Did you try to install python from brew, then install numpy via pip?

@chrism2671 Yes, and just repeated again. I even got some fix on my PYTHONPATH. Now it's /usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.6.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages:
Still hitting segmentation fault 11

[abhishekkrthakur]

I was able to fix the problem by removing all the instances of opencv that I had earlier. I did a brew doctor and brew install homebrew/science/opencv which gave me linking errors. Then I tried to link using brew link --overwrite opencv which told me that I had multiple instances of opencv. So I removed the folders manually using "sudo rm -rf FOLDERNAME_WHICH_GENERATED_LINKING_ERROR". After this I tried linking again and symlinks were created and now I'm able to import cv2 in python.

[jstoddart]

I'm running into the same issue - no luck any of the methods mentioned above (python/numpy or the .bash_profile paths). I've also double checked that brew update, brew doctor, and command line tools are all good-to-go and that my permissions are correct in the /usr/local directory.

I've run brew tap homebrew/science and I'm trying to run brew install opencv
I'm running Mavericks - 10.9

Here's the error output:

@jstoddart try a brew install -v homebrew/science/opencv
and share your error here. I may be able to help.

[jstoddart]

@victusfate I was able to sucessfully install on a different computer which had just been given a clean install of 10.9 using the same method ( brew install python --> pip-2.7 install numpy --> brew tap homebrew/science --> brew install opencv )

I'll try again on the other computer tonight with your method and report back

Groovy, glad it worked ok for you once from a clean slate.

I'm having the same error as @jstoddart.

I'm using the homebrewed python and the following formula (also xcode command line tools manually installed from apple "Command Line Tools (OS X Mavericks) for Xcode - Late October 2013")

require 'formula'

  # Can also depend on ffmpeg, but this pulls in a lot of extra stuff that

and in my binding.gyp file I have a section like the folllowing:

I was able to solve my issue here with the following:

brew edit opencv

Make the following change:

depends_on 'eigen'   => :optional

To:

depends_on 'eigen'   => :build

Then Save and Close the file, and try to install opencv again.

I also was able to update the version number to 2.4.7 by changing:

url 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/opencvlibrary/opencv-unix/2.4.6.1/opencv-2.4.6.1.tar.gz'
sha1 'e015bd67218844b38daf3cea8aab505b592a66c0'

To:

url 'https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/archive/2.4.7.tar.gz'
 sha1 '67ec788943894d4be3dff6efd7720591108feb29'

The original error here being:

/tmp/opencv-rawk/opencv-2.4.7/modules/contrib/src/rgbdodometry.cpp:65:12: fatal error: 'unsupported/Eigen/MatrixFunctions' file not found
#  include <unsupported/Eigen/MatrixFunctions>

EDIT: I also made some compiler flag changes. See my PR for those.

@abhishekkrthakur Could you please check if the updated opencv formula resolves the issue, and close this ticket if it does?
