Xen users - Oct 2007 - Unresolved: Problems starting Xend

Hi all,
I am new to xen(and this list), and I am having serious problems starting
xend.
It seems like python won''t load the xc.so library, even though there is
a
file at : /usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/lib/python/xen/lowlevel/xc.so
Is the ../ in the path not understood by the system or what?

My setup is a little bit strange in one way. But It really should not affect
xend in this way in any case:
A while age, I changed the motherboard and processor, without reinstalling
debian.
For some reason i forgot, so many packages are for the K7 architecture.
However, since all the xend-packages and images are of the correct amd64
flavour and doesn''t use any platform specific libraries, it should not
matter.

Anyway, here is the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/xend", line 40, in ?
    from xen.xend.server import SrvDaemon
  File
"/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/../lib/python/xen/xend/server/SrvDaemon.py",
line 17, in ?
    import xen.lowlevel.xc
ImportError: /usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/../lib/python/xen/lowlevel/xc.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I am no star of python, but as far as i understand of its docs, the code
should work.

Warm regards,
Nicklas Börjesson

That''s a weird place for the library to be anyhow.  Normally
it''d be
under /usr/lib/python/xen/lowlevel/xc.so.

IIRC, Debian has some extra smarts so that you can easily change between 
multiple installed Xen versions.  Maybe the more complicated path your system 
uses is due to that.

How did you install Xen?  Is it installed from the standard Debian packages?  
If so, I suspect that it might help you more to post on a Debian (or 
debian-xen) mailing list...   There are a few Debian folks who post on   
sometimes but I don''t think most people here are familiar with the way
they
handle the libraries.

Cheers,
Mark
