Hi Maththias, Thanks for the help. I finally was able to compile/install libvirt on xenserver.
I tried compiling the libvirt 0.9.2 with xen api support. Was able to install it successfully. When I tried giving the virsh command, I got an ‘authentication failed’ error as shown below. # virsh -c xenapi://<my local ip> Enter username for <mylocalip>: root Enter intel123's password for <my local ip>: error: authentication failed: (null) I also tried connecting to the local machine as below, virsh -c "xenapi:///" error: authentication failed: Server name not in URI error: failed to connect to the hypervisor What am I missing here? Also I am trying to install ruby-libvirt on xenserver, which looks like requires libvirt-devel package to be installed. How do I build it from the libvirt 0.9.2 source package.
