How to uninstall opencv in Ubuntu?

I have the following system:

Linux 64 bit LTS 12.04

  1. I have multiple installations of opencv library on the system.
  2. I want to know the procedure to remove all opencv libraries from the system.
  3. I am having trouble while executing my program through Eclipse IDE.

Though I can build the project when I try to execute it, it gives the following error:

OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (k == STD_VECTOR_MAT) in release, file /build/buildd    /opencv-2.3.1/modules/core/src/matrix.cpp, line 1364
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
what():  /build/buildd/opencv-2.3.1/modules/core/src/matrix.cpp:1364: error: (-215) k == STD_VECTOR_MAT in function release

Confusing thing is I am not able to find the path specified in the error i.e. 

/build/buildd/opencv-2.3.1/modules/core/src/matrix.cpp

I am able to compile the same source code using command line tool gcc and using pkg-config. However I am unable to do the same through eclipse IDE.

The correct way is cd /path/to/cv/build then sudo make uninstall. Of course you will have to have the source code with you

I tried the exec rm thing but nothing changed. Also FYI, sudo apt-get remove libopencv-* did not remove openCV for me

You can also uninstall by going to the "build" folder directory of opencv from terminal, and execute the following

make uninstall
cd ..
sudo rm -r build
sudo rm -r /usr/local/include/opencv2 /usr/local/include/opencv /usr/include/opencv /usr/include/opencv2 /usr/local/share/opencv /usr/local/share/OpenCV /usr/share/opencv /usr/share/OpenCV /usr/local/bin/opencv* /usr/local/lib/libopencv*

I remember I used this command a while ago to remove all opencv related things. It is interactive which promote you to remove the file. choose y or n depending.Take your time and be-careful

$> sudo find / -name "*opencv*" -exec rm -i {} \;
