Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, the cmake output can be a bit sparse - you 
have to look in an obscure location (I think CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log) 
to see more useful information - but ours is a bit sparse too. Should be 
addressed in b0f5340d.

Oh, you're right, and I misremembered the OpenCV situation here. RHEL 
*does* package OpenCV, but it's a really old version in EPEL5 and RHEL6. 
I hadn't noticed that they finally updated it in RHEL7. Our RPM should 
pull in the system copy of OpenCV on RHEL7 now, as of becfba59.

Sure, done in f0f06deb.

Right - 1.60.0 is the only version I've noticed as being broken. And 
we've definitely built with 1.59.0.
