I tried to build libvirt from the source. The autogen.sh complained and finished with the following output, and message saying "make" to make but there is not make file created. I also tried to install libvirt-0.1.9.1.src.rpm but it complained too.. === src rpm output === rpm -ivh libvirt-0.1.9-1.src.rpm warning: libvirt-0.1.9-1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID de95bc1f 1:libvirt warning: user veillard does not exist - using root ########################################### [100%] warning: user veillard does not exist - using root === End src rpm output === === Output using cvs sources === I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line. /usr/bin/autopoint: line 342: /usr/share/gettext/archive.tar.gz: No such file or directory cvs checkout: cannot find module `archive' - ignored find: archive: No such file or directory find: archive: No such file or directory autopoint: *** infrastructure files for version 0.14.1 not found; this is autopoint from GNU gettext-tools 0.14.1 autopoint: *** Stop. aclocal:<a href="http://configure.in:249">configure.in:249</a>: warning: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION' not found in library aclocal:<a href="http://configure.in:250">configure.in:250</a>: warning: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library checking build system type... i686-redhat-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-redhat-linux-gnu extra=301 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make...
