I have installed xen-3.0.4 from source.  It worked on one machine and
xend start  works,  on the other though ( i thought i did the same on
both but i guess i didn't)  I'm getting:
xen2 ~ # xend start
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/sbin/xend", line 47, in ?
     libpath = xen.util.auxbin.libpath()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'libpath'
Im using gentoo  There machines are brand new bare metal,  I have
rebuilt xen a few times trying to make sure that a new /usr/lib64/
python/xen  is put in place.  I even reinstalled python and tried but
i still get the error.
I don't know python so any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in
advance.
 
I got the same thing with 3.0.3 using x86_64 on Ubunty LTS and never
could get it resolved, after a week of re-tracing my steps I  
eventually 
gave up and just decided to live with x86_32. A few other people also
has the same exact error, I believe one was using Gentoo, the rest  
of us
were using Debian or variant thereof. We all did the same thing you  
did 
to no avail.
 
I just figured it out,  I had tried to use the gentoo packages before  
i went with the official release.  I had a old xen python module  
around that didnt support that command.  It was in /usr/lib64/ 
python2.4/xen.  It belonged to the xen-tools package.  One i unmerged  
it (emerge -C xen-tools)   I only had the one package in /usr/lib64/ 
python/xen  placed by the installer. 
I found this by using locate (or slocate), you could use find if you  
wanted 
locate auxbin.py
and make sure you dont have two installed!!
I hope that helps you out.  It worked perfect for me.
 
I think, because a few people had the same exact problem over a few
various distros that it is a Python issue and not Xen per say,  
probably
missing a package as far as I was able to troubleshoot it .. but  
didn't
get much further. I looked for other python*-dev that indicated  
arch 64 
that could be installed, but didn't see any..
Hope this saves you at least a little time resolving it.. please do  
post 
back if your able to nail it down.
Best,
