I replaced the the wrong headerfile with this one from the original  
2.6.18 sources.

I did the configure step with the following parameters including -- 
disable-bridge-params as suggested by Mark:

  ./configure --disable-shared --disable-bridge-params --with-test=no  
--with-qemu=no

But make failed again. This time in libvirt/test directory. Is this  
mandatory for using libvirt?

I already tried to disable the testing feature with --with-test=no.  
But I suppose that this is not the right way.
