don't use --check. it'll run very slowly.
and you need an usb camera to run the program.

Hi all,
I've built and installed OpenCV 2.3.1, and I modified my FaceTracker Makefile per #3 as I am on Linux Mint 14. FaceTracker builds without issue, but nothing happens when I execute ./face_tracker:

gavin@gavin-X1C ~/dev/FaceTracker/bin $ ./face_tracker --m ../model/face2.tracker -c ../model/face.con -t ../model/face.tri -s 1 -d -1
gavin@gavin-X1C ~/dev/FaceTracker/bin $ ./face_tracker --help
track_face:- Written by Jason Saragih 2010
Performs automatic face tracking

usage: ./face_tracker [options]

Arguments:
-m -> Tracker model (default: ../model/face2.tracker)
-c -> Connectivity (default: ../model/face.con)
-t -> Triangulation (default: ../model/face.tri)
-s -> Image scaling (default: 1)
-d -> Frames/detections (default: -1)
--check -> Check for failure
gavin@gavin-X1C ~/dev/FaceTracker/bin $ ./face_tracker --check
gavin@gavin-X1C ~/dev/FaceTracker/bin $

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks. I have a Microsoft Lifecam VX2000 plugged in that works with cheese, though lsusb lists it as Microsoft Corp. rather than by a more specific name. Still, nothing happens when I execute facetracker.

I switched to a Logitech C310, which is correctly identified in lsusb, and works with cheese, but still nothing happens when I execute ./face_tracker.

run in debug mode and trace the code line by line is best choice to find what's wrong.
usualy the reason is model files cannot be found. you can hard coded the path of model files and try again.

pay attention to these lines (the default path is relative to current work dir!!!):
FACETRACKER::Tracker model(ftFile);
cv::Mat tri=FACETRACKER::IO::LoadTri(triFile);
cv::Mat con=FACETRACKER::IO::LoadCon(conFile); //connection
