I am another unfortunate user who tried to build opencv 2.4.9 on ubuntu
13.10 and ended up with an unusable system. My hardware is AMD A6 with
Radeon Graphics card.

I had the AMD catalyst drivers installed in my machine, I couldn't
recover back to my old drivers, I didn't find this page when I was
searching for a solution. I tried to upgrade to 14.04 using the command
line boot up sequence expecting that to reinstall the drivers and fix
everything, but that was not to be.

So I tried to re-install 14.04 using a live CD, for some reason it
failed on the first attempt.

 I ended up getting in to Busybox shell and my previous ubuntu 13.10
partition had become unbootable nor was it recognised by the live CD on
further attempts.

Finally, I partitioned my hard disk to save my old ubuntu 13.10
installation and reinstall ubuntu 14.04 on a separate partition.

This resulted in  48 hours wasted in productivity with out a bootable
machine and further several hours to re-install software on 14.04.

I hope whoever is incharge of opencv reads through these sob stories and
fixes this before this creates pain for many.
