You can add 'V=1' to the command line make and it will produce a lot more information maybe it will help.

I mainly work with a machine running Debian Testing. I'm assuming that by DPDK 1.5 you mean the latest version as of today: 1.5.0r1. I cannot reproduce your problem on that up to date Debian Testing machine: cyril at aiur:~/src$ wget http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/snapshot/dpdk-1.5.0r1.tar.gz cyril at aiur:~/src$ tar -zxf dpdk-1.5.0r1.tar.gz cyril at aiur:~/src$ cd dpdk-1.5.0r1/ cyril at aiur:~/src/dpdk-1.5.0r1$ make install T=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc [...] The build completes with no error.

Am I missing something? I'm afraid I don't have any idea to solve your problem, but I can confirm that it works on other Debian systems ; so I'd say the problem is with your setup? Cyril
