[ovs-discuss] Compilation error : lib/netdev-dpdk.c:55:28: fatal error: rte_virtio_net.h: No such file or directory

[Ranjith Kumar D]

I mean the step configure was successful (./configure --with-dpdk=/home/ubuntu/dpdk-2.0.0/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc) .

The GTP protocol functionality is implemented in OVS 2.4.0 code base. So I have to use OVS 2.4.0 since merging the GTP packet handling code to OVS 2.8.0 due to lot code changes between OVS 2.4.0 and 2.8.0

Regards,
Ranjith

I'm confused, then.  How did you successfully link DPDK 2.0 to OVS 2.4.0 without first compiling it?  Why is OVS 2.8 mentioned?
