I have been trying to install opencv from source rather than pip since I could not read a VideoCapture successfully.
Installing opencv-3.2.0 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. Followed the details mentioned here.
I get the following errors in ".../opencv-3.2.0/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log":
.../opencv-3.2.0/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CheckIncludeFile.c:1:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory
.../opencv-3.2.0/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CheckIncludeFile.c:1:25: fatal error: sys/videoio.h: No such file or directory
libv4l-dev is already the newest version (1.10.0-1)
I've also run the following command at /usr/include/linux:
sudo ln -s ../libv4l1-videodev.h videodev.h
The CMake output is:

This seems really silly in retrospect but the cmake command has a path option for -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib-3.2.0/modules \
. This path was incorrect on my system. I changed it to the correct path and it worked. Thanks for all the help guys!
For your problem, you have to run following command
sudo apt-get install libv4l-dev
for install OpenCV on Ubuntu, I always following some step that always works.
I install OpenCV with opencv_contrib ( some extra module for OpenCV)
Open terminal and run following command
To install opencv dependency
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install cmake git libgtk2.0-dev pkg-config libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-numpy libtbb2 libtbb-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libjasper-dev libdc1394-22-dev
sudo apt-get install libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev
To install opencv
cd /opt/
sudo git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git
sudo git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib.git
cd opencv
sudo mkdir release
cd release
sudo cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=/opt/opencv_contrib/modules -D WITH_LIBV4L=ON -D WITH_V4L=OFF -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON /opt/opencv/
sudo make
sudo make install
pkg-config --modversion opencv # check version installed
If you don't want to install opencv_contrib you can skip 3rd step and change 7 step to
sudo cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D /opt/opencv/
