I'm using opencv with Ubuntu 12.04, so GTK3. The problem is that if I execute my opencv program (taken from the documentation) it throws the following error:

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 cvNamedWindow, file /home/bitliner/my-home/librerie/c/opencv-2.4.6.1/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp, line 483

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception' what(): /home/bitliner/my-home/librerie/c/opencv-2.4.6.1/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp:483: error: (-2) 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 function cvNamedWindow

Aborted (core dumped)

I cannot install the packet libgtk2.0-dev.

Looking at the current openCV implementation index, this is not an openCV function. So it is normal that it isn't implemented. Could you provide code that calls it?

"I'm using opencv with Ubuntu 12.04, so GTK3"
"Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x "

you see the mismatch ? when building the opencv libs ( esp. highgui ), it did not find gtk2, so that module was built without gui support and throws a runtime exception, when you try to open a window. (anything else, like videocapture and imread, should still work fine, though)

so actually, imshow() (or namedWindow(), whatever you were trying to use from highgui) is the function, that is not implemented.

Exception::what() is just the function, that retrieves the message from the exception. please remove that part from your title, as it's totally misleading.

again, your problem is missing gtk2.
