(netcf on Ubuntu is extremely new; I'm not sure what version is needed
to build it properly.)
Actually CentOS 6.3 should work just fine. You actually don't need
libnl-3 (libnl-1.1 is what netcf and libvirt are linked against on
CentOS 6.x), although I *think* libnl-3 is available for CentOS 6.3 as well.
Try installing the package "libnl-devel" ("yum install libnl-devel" - it
might be in some "optional" repo), as that will give you a netcf that's
compatible with libvirt as built on CentOS 6.3 (forgive my inability to
speak with certainty about CentOS; all of my info is based on RHEL and
Fedora).
If you really must have libnl3 for some reason, try installing
libnl3-devel instead, but note that you'll also have to build your own
libvirt from recent sources as well (libnl-3 and libnl-1.1 can coexist
on the same system, but two packages that are linked together must both
be linked with the same version of libnl)
Another good platform for netcf (and libvirt) testing is Fedora. A large
number of libvirt developers (including me) use Fedora as their main dev
box, and netcf was originally developed on Fedora. The current release
of Fedora (17) is reasonably stable (note that if you don't like the
gnome shell, there are alternatives as close as a "yum install" away :-)
