Hi Maththias,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the help. I finally was able to compile/install libvirt on xenserver.</div><div><br></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"># virsh -c xenapi://<my local ip></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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

<br>
</div>The means that your libvirt version is new enough and contains the<br>
XenAPI driver but that it was disabled on configure time, probably<br>
because the build server didn't have libxenserver installed and<br>
libvirt's configure script automatically disabled the driver because<br>
of a missing dependency.<br>

<br>
</div>Then Citrix build libvirt without XenAPI support. As a long term<br>
solution you could report to whom ever is responsible for that repo<br>
and request to enabled XenAPI support in that libvirt package. As a<br>
short term solution you could build libvirt from source yourself and<br>
make sure to get the XenAPI driver enabled.<br>

<br>
</div>According to <a href="http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html" target="_blank">http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html</a> and the error message<br>
0.8.2 is new enough.<br>
