2) Because people may want more than one OpenCV version installed at a time, we will first make an attempt to find the variable OPENCV2 in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. - If the variable exists, but the dll loads fail, we abort the library import with a message to stdout. - if the variable does not exist, we assume that OpenCV 2.0 is the only version installed on the system and continue with the loading mechanism in place. If the user did not heed our instructions and instead is using OpenCV < 2.0, and something crashes. Shame on them.
We can even simplify that: a) scikits.image.opencv requires opencv v2 b) scikits.image.opencv always loads the first opencv library that can be found on LD_LIBRARY_PATH Regards Stéfan
