How to check for openCV

Question

How can I confirm if openCV is properly installed in my computer ? Is there any quick command line for it ? I am on Ubuntu 9.10

Here's an easy way to check. Assuming you installed using the default configuration.

In /usr/local/lib you should have the following libraries

libcvaux.so -> libcvaux.so.2.0
libcvaux.so.2.0 -> libcvaux.so.2.0.0
libcvaux.so.2.0.0
libcv.so -> libcv.so.2.0
libcv.so.2.0 -> libcv.so.2.0.0
libcv.so.2.0.0
libcxcore.so -> libcxcore.so.2.0
libcxcore.so.2.0 -> libcxcore.so.2.0.0
libcxcore.so.2.0.0
libhighgui.so -> libhighgui.so.2.0
libhighgui.so.2.0 -> libhighgui.so.2.0.0
libhighgui.so.2.0.0
libml.so -> libml.so.2.0
libml.so.2.0 -> libml.so.2.0.0
libml.so.2.0.0

And in /usr/local/include/opencv you should have the following header files.

cvaux.h, cvcompat.h, cv.hpp, cvver.h, cvwimage.h, cxcore.hpp, cxflann.h, 
cxmisc.h, cxtypes.h, highgui.hpp, cvaux.hpp, cv.h, cvtypes.h, cvvidsurv.hpp, 
cxcore.h, cxerror.h, cxmat.hpp, cxoperations.hpp, highgui.h, ml.h

I'm assuming that you using the latest version which is 2.0.
