I've built opencv 2.4.13 for ubuntu 16.04 x64 from source zip file downloaded from opencv website.

I prepared the required libraries and packages according OpenCV Installation in Linux, then compiled the release version by :

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

then:

make -j4

and then:

make install

The installation was successful and I could use "opencv_createsamples" to generate the desired vector file.

The problem is the "opencv_traincascade". Let me show you some info:

Here is my training command, but if look at the end of the training procedure, you will see a similar error. But this time, the negative images description file is correct and "opencv_traincascade" works properly until stage 4!!!!
