Hugh,
Hi Rob. What version of libvirt are you using?
The latest: libvirt-0.2.3.tar.gz
Did you build it from source or install an RPM?
From source.
virt-manager requires libvirt to talk to xen,
and if you don't build libvirt with xen-devel installed on your machine
as well, it will not build in xen support (which means virt-manager
won't talk to the xen hypervisor even if it is present and running).
I suspect this is the key to my solution. I'm certain I don't have the xen-
devel installed on my machine. This explains also why the 'make check' fails
as well, I cant remember what the message was exactly, but it had something
to do with 'no support'.. I will let you know.
Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Rob
Yes, I have had this same problem when building libvirt on machines
where I had forgotten to install xen-devel. The build config for libvirt
automatically sets WITH_XEN=no if it doesn't find xen-devel, without
telling you it's doing it... we should probably fix that at some point...
Best of luck,
