Re: [Xen-users] Xen in RHEL 5.0...Installation problems

[Dushmant Mohapatra <d_mpatra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Daniel,

I tried to install the following RPMs:

xen-debuginfo-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
xen-devel-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
xen-libs-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm

They got installed successfully. But while trying to install xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm

I get the dependency problem : error: Failed dependencies:
python-virtinst is needed by  xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386


I am not sure which rpm to install for this . Also I am not finding the proper RPM for virt-manager,virt-install.

Are they present in the server image or client image?

Regards
Dushmanta
