Fix broken links on shared library g++

I have an executable which links to opencv 2.2. However, I have removed opencv 2.2 and I have opencv 2.3 installed.

The question is, is there a way to link this executable to the new shared library without recompiling the whole source code? How can I fix those broken links?

running ldd:

    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff17fff000)
    libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6 (0x00007fd6f0e0d000)

thanks guys,

If OpenCV version 2.3 is binary compatible with version 2.2, i.e. if the ABI did not undergo breaking changes, you can work around the problem with symbolic links:

# ln -s /usr/lib/libopencv_core.so.2.3 /usr/lib/libopencv_core.so.2.2
# ln -s /usr/lib/libopencv_imgproc.so.2.3 /usr/lib/libopencv_imgproc.so.2.2
