This is a general procedure that should work for any Linux system.

Download and extract package

$ cd opencv-2-x-x
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake-gui ..

Click 'configure', then 'generate'. Close the GUI.

$ make
(pray everything will go well)
$ make install

Thanks! From where can I get ffmpeg libs for centos to install with opencv?

If ffmpeg isn't provided by yum you'll have to download/compile it from the ffmpeg website.
