Arch Linux

Description:

The current x86-64 version (3.3.1-1) of the opencv package is compiled with the default CMake options, which require SSE3 during runtime. Even though almost every x86-64 CPU out there supports SSE3, it is not part of the original x86-64 spec. Therefore, opencv cannot run on some older x86-64 CPUs (e.g. Opteron before stepping E4).

Additional info:
* package version(s): 3.3.1-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

$ opencv_version
