[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 0/5] new mlx4 datapath bypassing ibverbs

[gowrishankar muthukrishnan]

Hi Adrien,
I am trying to compile mlx4 (and later to try mlx5) pmd in RHEL 7.4 
(ppc64le) without Mellanox OFED,
using current master (which has below patch series).

As I do so, I hit with below compile error:

   dpdk/drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c:53:31: fatal error: infiniband/mlx4dv.h: 
No such file or directory
    #include <infiniband/mlx4dv.h>
                                  ^
   compilation terminated.
   make[6]: *** [mlx4.o] Error 1

I tried to find rpm for this directverbs include, but I could not. Could 
you advice if I have to install any additional rpm in RHEL 7.4 ?
To note, I have rdma-core and libibverbs installed.

Thanks,
Gowrishankar
