I am trying to install openCV 2.4.9 on raspberry pi 2 but facing some error regarding libtiff4-dev image format.

enter image description here

I have tried with 'libtiff5-dev' also but it is not working.

enter image description here

I dont know what the issue is, I installed same openCV in my other micro SD card 3-4 month before that time it worked fine.

I have already install python 2.7.9.

I have tried searching for this error but was not able to find a solution, can anyone help me? Tell me what wrong I am doing here.

Thanks in advance.

  • If you are using jessie, what's wrong with just apt-get install opencv? 2.4.9 is the current version.

As per this askubuntu question. You need to do:

sudo apt-get update

before attempting to install it. If this still does not work you may need to add the repository that libtiff4-dev comes from, but it could be that libtiff4-dev is no longer included in any repositories, in that case, you may be out of luck.

UPDATE:

I just did sudo apt-get update on my Pi and then sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev and I was able to install it, so it is still in the repo.

  • Those instructions look to be an incredible waste of time since openCV is in the Raspbian repos, as is a python-opencv (2.4.9) package.

To fix unmet dependencies, use sudo apt-get -f install

If it doesn't worked out then try with aptitude

sudo apt-get install aptitude

sudo aptitude install <Your_package>
