Dear all, I have trouble with making imshow working on osx. I am using pyCharm to code with opencv 3.1.0_4 It seems to be common but I never found any solution. img = cv2.imread('./imageTuto.jpeg') cv2.imshow('image',img)

OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Carbon support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script) in cvShowImage, file /Users/travis/build/skvark/opencv-python/opencv/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp, line 545 
Traceback (most recent call last):

Simply said, your system has no running visualisation backend, and thus imshow cannot work. Why not install GTK as suggested.

doing so on osx is really a pain... it include remove every package installer to run jhbuild
