Unable to install caffe

I am new to caffe. I am trying to install it in Ubuntu 14.04 which is running as a dual boot on my macbook pro. I managed to get it running initially but soon after my laptop crashed, following which I have the same error "No module named caffe" I have followed the instructions to the letter and it seems to be an issue with opencv. I get an error message while compiling caffe which I have copied below.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencv_imgcodecs collect2: error: ld
returned 1 exit status make: ***
[.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3] Error 1

This leads me to believe there is something wrong with my OpenCV installation? Would really appreciate some help!

Looks like some OpenCV dev libs are missing. - Klaus D.
Have you installed the development package for OpenCV? - user707650
Sorry, I didn't follow up on this here. I am very new to SO(I don't use it often as well until recently) and going by my experience on the Caffe mailing list, didn't expect such prompt replies. I was on a time crunch and ended up building caffe on OSX. Thank you for the help though! - Yeshwanth Napolean

If you are using anaconda install OpenCV 3 with this:

conda install -c menpo opencv3=3.2.0

Or if you are using homebrew

brew install opencv3

Check the installation guide

When compiling with OpenCV 3.0 or errors show imread,imencode,imdecode or VideoCapture open your Makefile with some text editor, add opencv_imgcodecs behind.

LIBRARIES += glog gflags protobuf leveldb snappy \ lmdb boost_system boost_filesystem hdf5_hl hdf5 m \ opencv_core opencv_highgui opencv_imgproc opencv_imgcodecs opencv_videoio
