I have installed OpenCV on Fedora 17, and it gives me this error after i try to import cv2 in Python:

Python 2.7.3 (default, Jul 24 2012, 10:05:38) [GCC 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import cv2
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /lib64/libavcodec.so.54: symbol avpriv_update_lls, version LIBAVUTIL_52 not defined in file libavutil.so.52 with link time reference

What this can be about? i installed ffmpeg-devel

You may have conflicting versions of libav* on your system. I had the same problem and then followed instructions at http://juliensimon.blogspot.fr/2013/08/howto-compiling-ffmpeg-x264-mp3-aac.html to get rid of them.

I have encountered the same problem:

>>> import cv2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.57: symbol avpriv_slicethread_free version LIBAVUTIL_55 not defined in file libavutil.so.55 with link time reference

I use the command:locate

Lenovo:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ locate libavutil.so.55

/data/pyenvs/bob_py3/lib/libavutil.so.55
/data/pyenvs/bob_py3/lib/libavutil.so.55.78.100
/opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/libavutil.so.55
/opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/libavutil.so.55.17.103
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.55
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.55.58.100

and then I copy the file (/data/pyenvs/bob_py3/lib/libavutil.so.55.78.100) to the path (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.55.58.100). Relink the file.

Lenovo:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ sudo cp /data/pyenvs/bob_py3/lib/libavutil.so.55.78.100 .

Lenovo:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ sudo ln -s libavutil.so.55.78.100 libavutil.so.55

It work.
