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

I download xen3.0.2-23.src.rpm and build the dom0 Kernel in Fedora COre 5 in x86
mode. I did not build a domU kernel at all.
   
  I tried to run ./xenguest-install.py in dom0 kernel after booting into it.. I
got this error
  "No module named libvirt".
   
  I then tried installing libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386.rpm using
  "rpm --install libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386.rpm"
   
  I get failed dependencies error such as
  "libxenstore.so is needed by libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386
  xen is needed by libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386"
   
  what am I missing here ? I have libxenstore.so in /usr/lib.
   
  thanks for your help
  Shobha

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

Please don''t cross-post.

xenguest-install.py is not part of upstream Xen.  It''s RedHat specific.
Please ask in the fedora-xen users list.

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

libxenstore.so is part of xen-libs package which you don''t need while 
compiling from src rpms.

If you are going to compile xen from source, you should have to install 
the libvirt rpm using --nodeps option and compile it.

rpm --install libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386.rpm --nodeps

No, there is absolutely *NO* need to install libvirt when compiling the
Xen RPM - there is no compile time dependancy, and you certainly should
not use --nodeps when installing RPMs.

Did you install both xen & xen-libs ?

The version of Xen you installed  probably has a newer libxenstore.so
which includes versioning, while the libvirt you installed was linked
against the older non-versioned libxenstore.so. What does 

  rpm -q --provides xen xen-libs | grep xenstore

Show ?

BTW, you''ll also want libvirt-python RPM too

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

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

FC6test1 is pretty old by  now - you should move up to test3, or even rawhide.

Sources for test3 are here:

 
http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/5.92/source/SRPMS/

Sources for rawhide are here:

http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/

For FC5, you don''t want to use the GA bits - get the latest published
errata
instead:

Opps, got all those URLs wrong - remove the ''.devel'' bit of
the hostname ..
