DPDK compiler error on fedora 23

Question

Attempting to build DPDK 16.04 and am getting an error. I've done a little hunting around and some of the solutions are "update the kernel" I am currently running Fedora 23. There is a uname -a below with the exact version. I think what I am really looking for is more information about what is wrong. The error message seems vague. My next step is to dig into the make file and see what was going on just prior to the error. Any suggestions on getting more information about the error would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Did a sudo yum install kernel-devel-4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 and all is well. Compiles without error.
