You need to install Mellanox OFED before attempting to compile the mlx4 PMD, as described in the relevant documentation (doc/guides/nics/mlx4.rst) also available here: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/mlx4.html See "Prerequisites" and "Getting Mellanox OFED" sections. It should work fine with all Linux distributions supported by Mellanox OFED. In your specific case, RHEL 6.5 is supported by MOFED 3.0-2.0.1. -- Adrien Mazarguil 6WIND
