Hi, Jamie, By default, building in DPDK (including in stable-17.11.4) is by creating static libs (*.a) and not shared libs (*so).
What does cat build/.config | grep -i shared show ? If you have CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=y, this means that you use shared libs, and in such a case, a VMXNET3 *.so should be generated in the build (librte_pmd_vmxnet3_uio.so), and if indeed the testpmd app you use was built in a tree where CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB is "y", then the librte_pmd_vmxnet3_uio.so should be under /usr/lib64/... folder so it will work. It seems that the best thing is to rebuild the DPKD tree (after make clean) and reinstall it. Regards, Rami Rosen
