I see this in "tmp":

checking whether the C compiler works... no

Please fix your C-compiler. What does the following command return?
# gcc-config -L

Please use the " xl" command set. " xm" is deprecated.
Please also ensure you start the xen services:
# /etc/init.d/xencommons start
# /etc/init.d/xenstored start
# /etc/init.d/xenconsoled start
before trying the xl commands.
