I installed this package (python-opencv) but I thought this package 
would be only some API for python to use the opencv library and I 
imagined that I would still have to install the opencv library from source.

For example when trying to install the 2.4.11 version after running cmake:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D 
WITH_TBB=ON -D BUILD_NEW_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D WITH_V4L=ON -D 
INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON 
-D WITH_QT=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON ..

(Output of cmake at the end of message.)

and make -j2 to compile, but an error occurred after compiling 55%:

[ 55%] Building CXX object 
modules/legacy/CMakeFiles/opencv_legacy.dir/src/facedetection.cpp.o
Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/libopencv_legacy.so
[ 55%] Built target opencv_legacy
make: ** [all] Erro 2

import cv works fine but I didn't find libcv.so in my system.

I suppose that cv had already been installed by the package 
python-opencv, and the compilation of the opencv didn't install cv2.

Thanks for your attention,
