I can get you going, though you will need to type in the commands
to compile it on your end.
1) Install CentOS 5.1 x86_64 + virtualization package
2) Install these packages via yum:
# yum intstall gcc binutils dev86 bison flex kernel-xen-devel transfig
libidn-devel zlib-devel texi2html SDL-devel curl-devel libX11-devel
python-devel ghostscript tetex-latex ncurses-devel gtk2-devel libaio-devel perl
glibc-devel.x86_64 glibc-devel.i386 gettext gnutls-devel openssl-devel
A lot of dependencies will be pulled in, but hey that's life..
3) Download the xen 3.2 src rpm from xen.org and install it
4) cd to '/usr/src/redhat/SPECS' and type in 'rpmbuild -ba xen.spec'
If it aborts with an error, it shouldn't, so post it and
someone will help you with it.
5) cd to '/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64' and type in
'rpm -Uvh xen-3.2.0-0xs.x86_64.rpm xen-libs-3.2.0-0xs.x86_64.rpm'
Then your done.
There are 2 issues I encountered with the xen.org 3.2 version.
1) The Xen API interface doesn't handle an unspecified
'timer_mode' option which causes virt-manager and
virt-install to break. There is a patch for this and
I can send a patched src rpm with it if you want.
2) utc_timeoffset isn't automatically calculated so
you need to specify it. I also have a patch for that
too, included in my new src rpm.
