That is because the FabscanPi Software depends on a OpenCV version with tbb support. TBB is needed for multicore image processing. The Raspbian default packages do not support multicore.
I added the packages to the fabscanpi source repository archive.fabscan.org.
You need to add it to your apt configuration

deb http://archive.fabscan.org/ <testing or stable here> main

If you really want to start with a clean installation you should try the FabScanPi image build script. It based on the official raspbian build script and adds an extra stage for the fabscan stuff. You can find it here https://github.com/mariolukas/FabScanPi-Build-Raspbian

There are some other special configurations which need to be done to get the software running. Have a look at the stage folder if you want to configure it by yourself. Otherwise try to build the image with the build script.

Alright, I'll give that a shot. I had given up on trying to get my previous error worked out and thought I'd try this method. Now I'll try that method. Thanks.

How will I configure the ACM0 lines for support of the USB port instead of the GPIO?

[mariolukas]

There is nothing special to do. Just change the port in the FabScanPi Config file from /dev/ttyAMA0 to something like /dev/ttyUSB0

The error seems to be an issue with pi-gen. I've tried for three days to make the image from their scripts using the docker build script and still nothing. The error still revolves around the /pi-gen/work/ folder not being created even I believe. Oh well, I opened an issue and hopefully it gets resolved soon.

EDIT: closed the wrong issue. I'll leave it to you to close when you feel it's prudent.

This issue is more related to mariolukas/FabScanPi-Build-Raspbian#15
so I think we should discuss it on the build script repo.
