build failing on linux 16.04

I'm not sure what's happening, but after doing cmake in the build dir, and executing make -j4 it gave me:

make -j4

Then, I tried again with make (and make -j4 again) and it gave me:

make -j4

Haven't been able to solve the problem with googling. Also tried doing make clean and rebuilding with cmake, same problem twice.

Not sure I can help much, this is a problem with some dependency of OpenCV which I've never heard of. I have no idea what's causing this. What distro are you on? Which opencv version are you using? Try googling the error a bit. I saw some suggestions to install things like uuid-dev

@nateGeorge were you able to solve the problem?
How did you solve it?

[nateGeorge]

No, couldn't solve it as far as I remember.
