[dpdk-users] Difficulty With rte_eal_init()

[Cliff Burdick]

Thanks, -march=native fixed that. Now I get a segfault when calling
rte_eth_tx_queue_setup:

PMD: ixgbe_dev_tx_queue_setup(): sw_ring=0x7fff755efa40

I've tried passing in identical parameters to what l2fwd does, but it just
doesn't seem to be working. I think I may end up just taking an identical
makefile from the examples directory and using it since I'm not getting
anywhere with this. I'm using automake, so it's a little cumbersome.
