libvirt users - Aug 2012 - Libvirt Seg Fault when compiling either 0.9.13 or 0.10.0-rc1

Hi all,

I am trying to install a version of Libvirt that will be compatible with
qemu-kvm-1.1 but I cannot seem to get Libvirt to compile. During the make
portion of the install I get the following error:

...
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/shawn/libvirt-0.10.0/docs'
Generating 404.html.tmp
/bin/bash: line 5: 59204 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/xsltproc
--stringparam pagename $name --nonet --html ../docs/site.xsl 404.html.in >
404.html.tmp
make[4]: *** [404.html.tmp] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/shawn/libvirt-0.10.0/docs'
...

I have tried using "./configure --without-xen" and "./autogen
--without-xen" for the configure step and then I run make (and get the seg
fault error)

This error happens for both 0.9.13 and 0.10.0-rc1 so I'm pretty sure its
something on my end just don't know what. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Server
and qemu-kvm-1.1. I have been able to get the qemu-kvm and libvirt-bin
distribution packages to work together but now I'm trying to build both of
them from source so that I can make some modifications to the source code.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Shawn

That's a segfault in xsltproc.  What version of xsltproc do you have
installed?  Have you checked for/filed a bug against that package?
Still, it may be something where a tweak to libvirt sources could avoid
tickling that bug in xsltproc, since I don't have any problems building
the docs when building on Fedora.

Shawn,

In my experience a segfault on compilation can be an indicator of failing
hardware on the machine doing the compiling, whether RAM or something else.
Compilation stresses it more than just running normal stuff.

  You managed to get xsltproc to segfault, the XSLT transformation
  engine !
That's completely unrelated to libvirt. What does
  /usr/bin/xsltproc --version
and
  /usr/bin/xmllint --version
report.

  My guess is that you updated manually zlib without updating libxml2
and you got a nice crashing system ... restore your libxml2 libxslt and
zlib version of origin from your system !
