Hi,

Thanks for working on OVS.

You need a version of OVS that supports pkg-config. Myself and
Christian fixed that upstream a number of months ago, although I cannot
remember which version the fixes are in.

The older versions are looking for a linker script (libdpdk.so) which
doesn't exist anymore upstream.

Note that dpdk is exactly the same in Debian and Ubuntu - we jointly
maintain it from the same source base.
