Bug 540622

Summary:	FreeCAD will not install due to lack of libcv.so.1()(64bit). Perhaps a bit work on libopencv1 and/or opencv will do the job?

Yast did not find a dependency called libcv.so.1()(64bit) when I tried to install FreeCAD from repository Packman. However I managed to find a version for RedHat at http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libcv.so.1()(64bit). I installed it directly from the site and then installed FreeCAD. It started but disappeared/crashed when I tried to make a 3D-primitive. This led me to the conclusion that I might need to upgrade the dependencies, which I did but Yast and FreeCAD didn't agree upon that so I'm stuck with a program that opens but can't be used.
I then got the idea that perhaps you guys could do some work on libopencv1 and/or opencv (also found in Packman repository) to make them cooperating with Free CAD? I thought it would be a great thing to do since Red Hat and Fedora already done it and I think it would be sad if one couldn't use SUSE for CAD purposes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mark FreeCAD for installation and check for dependencies.
2. Install the latest RedHat version of http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libcv.so.1()(64bit)
3. Mark FreeCAD for installation and install.
4. Start FreeCAD and try to make a primitive, or any other shape.
Actual Results:  
FreeCAD crashed / disappeared.

Expected Results:  
FreeCAD should have showed the resulting primitive.

Of course YaST did not find it since it is not in any configured openSUSE repository. You need to add a repository containing this library first (zypper ar, use e.g. software.opensuse.org to find the right repo).

BTW: The opencv package is available in several repositories in the buildservice (just searched via software.opensuse.org, add one of them).
