[dpdk-users] Running Pktgen with Mellanox CX5

[Narcisa Ana Maria Vasile]

Hi,

I'm trying to run pktgen (latest 'master' branch) with a Mellanox CX5 NIC on Ubuntu 20.04.
I've installed the latest Mellanox drivers (MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.3-1.0.0.1-ubuntu20.04-x86_64.iso).
I've compiled and installed DPDK successfully (latest 'main' branch).

As you can see below, I'm getting an error message saying "libmlx4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
I am able to run other DPDK applications such as 'testpmd'.

Is pktgen supported with the latest Mellanox drivers on CX5? Thank you!
