<div>Hi,</div>
<div>
<div> I have RHEL5 libvirt client compiled at ${BSPACE}/usrcisco </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This client when connecting to a libvirtd/server fails to connect as follows</div>
<div>
<div>-bash-3.2$ ${BSPACE}/usrcisco/bin/virsh -c qemu+ssh://sarvi@cnh-nehalem-1/system?socket=/var//run/libvirt/libvirt-sock</div>
<div>error: failed to connect to the hypervisor</div>
<div>error: authentication failed: unsupported authentication type 2</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I have the libvirt client compiled and installed as follows</div>
<div>PYTHON=${BSPACE}/usrcisco/bin/python LDFLAGS="-L${BSPACE}/libnl-1.1.2/lib/ -L${BSPACE}/device-mapper.1.02.28/lib/ioctl/" CFLAGS="-I${BSPACE}/libnl-1.1.2/include -I${BSPACE}/device-mapper.1.02.28/include/" CPPFLAGS="-I${BSPACE}/device-mapper.1.02.28/include/

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The same library sources when compiled on RHEL6 as above, without specifying the "--with-rhel5-api=yes" compiles AND connect to the same server fine</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am looking for pointers as to what the problem could be OR how to trouble shoot the problem.</div>
<div>

</div>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
