[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: use the latest numactl release

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: use the latest numactl release

[Ali Alnubani]

Previous versions of numactl may produce the following error
on some systems (at least on Fedora 30 and RHEL7.4):

  ./.libs/libnuma.so: undefined reference to `minor'
  ./.libs/libnuma.so: undefined reference to `major'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This was fixed in upstream commit:
https://github.com/numactl/numactl/commit/25691a084a2012a339395ade567dbae814e237e9
The fix is available in v2.0.13.

According to the numactl commit message, the error happens when glibc 2.28 and later is used.
