I'm trying to do a setup in Ubuntu 12.04 (i have tried on Fedora before) and i got some error. Recompiled the kernel and was later compiled successfully DPDK (version: 1.5.1r1). Then the cloned OVS_DPDK (source https://github.com/01org/dpdk-ovs). The error appears when I try to compile the OVS. The following output is displayed:
