Thanks Daniel. Is there a way around this. We want the virtualization hosts to have standard Fedora libvirt RPMs installed and running. We are eventually trying to compile a subset of libvirt client tools only(the virsh client, python, libvirt and remote-drivers to run on various other developer systems ranging from RHEL 4/5/6 to allow them to be able to connect to the virtualization hosts. These compiled client tools will need to go into a --prefix=/usr/nonstddir/ which will be NFS mounted by all developer machines. I guess one alternative is to custom compile what runs on the virtualization servers too and have them all be built with --prefix=/user/nonstddir. But I am wondering if there is a way to avoid this.
