/usr/include/opencv4/opencv2/opencv.hpp:48:10: fatal error: opencv2/opencv_modules.hpp: No such file or directory 48 | #include "opencv2/opencv_modules.hpp"

hi there!

i am just new in opencv C++ and would like to use vscode due to tons of features for beginners, but i cannot make it find the header file. it kepps having the same error even if i correcte dthe inlude path and confirmed lcoation of the opencv header file is correct.
pls help. appreciate much you rconcern.thank you.

most likely an installation problem.
please recap, if you built the libs locally, in which case stuff went to :

/usr/local/include/opencv4/

and the libs to:

/usr/local/lib/

or if you got them from some ppm (noone knows, then …) but it’s likely

/usr/include/opencv4/

for the headers &

/usr/lib/

for the resp. libs.
