Aws,

Thanks, I will move to v1.7.0-rc4 and get it a try...

For the SKB function change I had to change the ifdef in the 
kcompat.h file around line 3848 (I think) to:

/* #### Changed the next line to use (3,13,8) instead of (3,14,0)

#if ( LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3,13,8) )

Hi,

I got the following error when I tried to compile 1.7.0 release 
tarball on a Linux box (Ubuntu 12.04/kernel=3.13.0-32-generic, 
gcc=4.6.3):

/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-32-generic/include/linux/skbuff.h:740:1: note: 
previous definition of ‘skb_set_hash’ was here

Last time I checked, I overcame this error by not using the tarball 
but by simply cloning the dpdk git repo and checking out the 
v1.7.0-rc4 tag. For example:

git clone git://dpdk.org/dpdk
git checkout v1.7.0-rc4
git checkout -b dpdk1.7.0-rc4  <---- the branch name is just an 
example, you could decide on any other name as you see fit.

My machine info:

3.11.0-20 kernel, ubuntu 12.04, gcc 4.6.3

From the v1.7.0-rc4 tag, viewing 
lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/ethtool/igb/kcompat.h:3848, you could see:

<snip>
#if ( LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3,14,0) )

Apparently the version check around 'skb_set_hash' in kcompat.h 
failed for some reason. To work around it, I temporarily commented 
out that 'skb_set_hash' definition code and rte_kni complied fine. 
But it failed again in librte_pmd_ixgbe:

My CPU is the older Intel C2D E6550 which does not have sse4.2/sse4.1 
support. Is there a way to work around this?
