Error installing opencv on RPi2

Question

I am trying to install OpenCV 3.0.0 on RPi2 with raspbian Stretch. When I run the following

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
-D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON \
-D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
-D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
-D WITH_V4L=ON ..

and then sudo make, I get the following error:

pi@raspberrypi:~/opencv-3.0.0/build $ sudo make

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Solution is Simple...

1. just go to /usr/include/c++
2. chose whatever version you are using. In my case it was 6, So chose folder 6
3. look for cmath.c and open it. Change #include_next <math.h> to #include <math.h>
4. Save it and done..

If you are having error with stdlib.h then also do the same for cstdlib.c file
