opencv face detection

I installed opencv2.3 on Ubuntu 11.10 by adding the PPA and it works fine. I've done simple image and video processing programs in it using Eclipse. Now for face detection I was following

http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/FaceDetection

And what I do not understand is where to find the /samples/c library that they've mentioned in the "On Linux" section. Apparently I need to change the mode of a file in that directory.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

They actually refer to opencv-0.9.7/samples/c/ which indicates a jurassic OpenCV version.

However, if you download the sources of the newest version (2.3.1 I guess) you will find that there's an example located at: samples/c/facedetect.cpp

Now it's up to you to find if facedetect.cpp and the other samples were installed by the pkg manager on your system.
