Re: [Xen-users] xenguest-install.py reports "no module named libvirt" in FC5 x86 mode

[shobha ranganathan <shobha_ranganathan@xxxxxxxxx>]

1. Did you install both xen & xen-libs ?

     I picked xen-3.0.2-23.src.rpm as it was the Xen version supported in FC5.

     I did "make world" and "make install". Ofcourse I created the ramdisk images as well. So I did not specifically install xen-libs. Please let me know if I missed any steps.

 

2. rpm -q --provides xen xen-libs | grep xenstore -- Show ?

   I tried this .This shows me nothing.  libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386 is the version that is available on the FC5 package/Cds.

 

My question ---  what is the right Xen source for FC5 in x86 and FC6 Test 1 in x86?

From my search, I found they use the same xen-3.0.2-23.src.rpm.

I can pick them and build it. I have been downloading stuff from the right websites. But I still get mismatches like these.

 

thanks for all your help
