The problem is that we have changed the PCI code, I have fix for this, but it needs to be cleaned up and pushed but I am having some bandwidth problems.

In the pktgen-port-cfg.h file at line 327 you need to add a #if around the first fprintf().

#if RTE_VERSION < RTE_VERSION_NUM(17, 5, 0, 0)
	fprintf( …
		);
#endif

Maybe other ones in the code too. I will try to find some time to push that patch.
