I have been trying to build opencv for over a week now using the instructions at
http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux_install/linux_install.html and http://miloq.blogspot.com/2012/12/install-opencv-ubuntu-linux.html however every time I get to the 'make' step, I get an error:

The process works well for a while and then stops at 79% with the above error. I thought the problem might be caused by the fact that I did not have the OpenCL library installed. I installed it as shown at www.amd-dev.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wordpress/media/2013/07/AMD_APP_SDK_Installation_Notes.pdf and still no luck. I am running ubuntu 12.04 and OpenCV 2.4.9. The installed version of AMD APP SDK is 2.8.1.0. Please help. I am at my wits end here.
