As well as the response David provided which is pretty comprehensive, I
have just today hit some similar issues when trying to run a shared-linked
DPDK app, even when DPDK was installed system-wide. If you install DPDK in
e.g. /usr/local on your system and still see issues, can you perhaps test out
patch http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/87823/ and see if it helps.
