I had this problem a couple of months ago, and tracked it down to a check for a macro named pcap_sendpacket. I didn't have this macro, but it is a function, so I simply removed the check and got things working. I thought I mentioned this in the DPDK mailing list, but I cannot find any evidence of this. So I probably didn't... Since I have lost the original patch I used to solve this issue, I made a new patch that might work for you, which you should be able to find as a reply to this message. It was made completely out of my memory of this and I haven't tested it, but the change is pretty trivial so I'm sure you can work out any mistakes I might have made. I hope this helps you.
