Well, the root cause is still the same, DPDK isn't detecting any devices over
which to forward traffic, which means the nb_port count is zero.  That would
suggest that you didn't find any devices during rte_eal_init.  The question is
why. I'd turn on all the pmd init debug macros to see if all the init routines
are getting called.

Two questions: (1) are you doing a static or DSO build, and (2) did you make any
changes to the make flags?
