libvirt users - Aug 2014 - Error when compiling libvirt 1.2.7 on CentOS 6.4

Hi,

I was trying to follow this guide (http://libvirt.org/compiling.html) to
compile libvirt1.2.7 on CentOS6.4. There is an error on executing
"make".
Below is the steps to reproduce and the error messages. Any help is
appreciated. Thanks.

$ sudo yum install gcc make gnutls-devel device-mapper-devel \
    python-devel libnl-devel yajl-devel \
    libxml2-devel libpciaccess-devel
$ wget ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-1.2.7.tar.gz
$ gunzip -c libvirt-1.2.7.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd libvirt-1.2.7/
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
--with-openvz=yes
$ make
.....

Here is the accident, why sh executes '-w' command.
That should be:
/usr/bin/perl -w ./rpc/gendispatch.pl --mode=aclapi \
           remote REMOTE ./remote/remote_protocol.x > libvirt_access.xml

have you installed perl?

You could check it in config.log.

Thanks Jincheng,

After installing perl, the error is resolved.

Best regards,

Hmm, we should make ./configure do a hard fail if ${PERL} is not found,
rather than delaying the error until make time.
