Re: [dpdk-dev] Pcap question

[Meir Tseitlin <mirots@gmail.com>]

Hi Olivier,

I guess something is still wrong:

testpmd application is reporting "PMD: pcap library cannot send packets,
please rebuild with a more up to date libpcap" message when I try creating
a bridge between two network cards.

I am more than sure that older version of pcap is not installed:

cigol@cigol-desktop:~/debug$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/*pcap*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1274936 Mar  5 23:26 /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      12 Mar  5 23:26 /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so ->
libpcap.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Mar  5 23:26 /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so.1 ->
libpcap.so.1.5.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  786725 Mar  5 23:26 /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so.1.5.3


Do you have any thoughts?

THank you for kind support,
Meir
