Re: [dpdk-users] Compilation problems in Ubuntu 16.04 with MLX5 options

["Wu, Xiaoban" <Xiaoban_Wu@student.uml.edu>]

Hi,

I also encountered a similar problem yesterday with dpdk-17.11 on ubuntu 16.04. I checked my old email from this mailing list, I found a successful solution by reinstall the latest "mlnxofed" by "./mlnxofedinstall --upstream-libs --dpdk"

Then you can try to install the dpdk-18.02 and see if it works. Hopefully, this will help you.

Best wishes,
Xiaoban

Hi,

Seems you do not have the 3rd party libraries installed.
Please take a look at [1] first,
