Then I'd have a question to you Thomas: if that's the goal, shouldn't the jobs you run on Jenkins (for CentOS) build VPP using the DPDK_SHARED mode? Anway, as previously mentioned, for openSUSE I followed the steps not to install the packaged DPDK so I think we can keep things as they are... [SNIP] Cheers, Marco
