DONT DO IT IT WILL FUCK UP YOUR COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! First remove

libcv-dev
libhighgui

Then install ROS, when it is installed return here.

Execute these commands

sudo ln -s /usr/include/opencv-2.3.1/opencv2 /usr/include/opencv2
sudo ln -s /usr/include/opencv-2.3.1/opencv /usr/include/opencv

Update

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/opencv-2-3-1.pc

so it look like this

# Package Information for pkg-config

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir_old=${prefix}/include/opencv-2.3.1/opencv
includedir_new=${prefix}/include/opencv-2.3.1

Change following make files:(This is only the first file that has to be updated. Try to find a solution so it can all be written in one file so you don´t have to change it.)

/aurobotserves/trunk/src/ulmsserver/makefile

Remove

   -lcxcore
   -lcv
