I cheated and went to /opt/ros/fuerte/include and changed the name of opencv2 to opencv2bak. This way it finds the right includes. I don't think it's the right way to do it, though.

Also, went to /opt/ros/fuerte/share/OpenCV/OpenCVConfig.cmake and edited the Install path variable to /usr/local (where I installed)
