hello, i am getting the following message after running the example application. Any ideas ?

Thank you
Peter

so the issue was due to permission, adding --log-level=eal,8 allowed me to see the cause.
However, I am running into another issue that /tmp/ar.cdo does not exist. Should I manually create this file ??

so I had to create the ar.cdo file first by running:
doca_dpi_compiler -i /opt/mellanox/doca/examples/application_recognition/bin/ar_suricata_rules_example -o /tmp/ar.cdo -f suricata

then I had to change -l 0-64 to 0-7
