The error message is either incomplete or not coherent: "please either 
increase..." or what?

Also no need for that "Failed:" because its already prefixed by 
"Error:". I'm not sure how helpful it is to have an error message 
suggest increasing a value that requires recomplication, but maybe 
something more in the lines of:

("All memory segments exhausted by IVSHMEM. Try recompiling with larger 
RTE_MAX_MEMSEG than current %d?", RTE_MAX_MEMSEG)
