I'm installing opencv 3.3 with centOS 6.9, gcc 4.8.5, cmake 3.11.1 ,cuda 9.0 and cudnn 7.0. I have been stuck on this question for quite a while. cmake error output as below.

CMakeFiles/cmTC_09750.dir/CheckSymbolExists.c.o: In function `main':
**CheckSymbolExists.c:(.text.startup+0x3): undefined reference to `pthread_create'**
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[1]: *** [cmTC_09750] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cch/Downloads/opencv/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp'
gmake: *** [cmTC_09750/fast] Error 2

File /home/cch/Downloads/opencv/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CheckSymbolExists.c:
/* */
#include <pthread.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  (void)argv;
#ifndef pthread_create
  return ((int*)(&pthread_create))[argc];
#else
  (void)argc;
  return 0;
#endif
}

Determining if the function pthread_create exists in the pthreads failed with the following output:

I wonder what I should do next?

Seems like someone somewhere is using the library name pthreads instead of pthread. The correct library to link with is -lpthread, not -lpthreads.

Nobody is. Cmake tries -lpthreads internally, then -lpthread, then goes off and does something else, which fails silently.

That appears to be a long-standing CMake bug. Something else is going wrong and CMake gets confused. Look for "thread" in your CMakeLists.txt file and temporarily remove that.
