Thank you for trying to tracking down this error.
Even though I get the following error from virsh command line interface,

<error>
[root at xen-machine libvirt-0.2.1]# ./src/virsh
libvir: error : no support for hypervisor
lt-virsh: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
</error>

my own program works fine with the libraries of 0.2.1.
The reason I had no success before with version 0.2.1 was because  
before this version was compiled with the libraries of 0.2.1. After I  
cleaned up my system and build 0.2.1 again I could use the library.  
But now the virsh command is not working and I don't know how to  
figure out with which library version it was build.

To get to the point:
I use version 0.2.1 for now and will test one of the newer version  
when it is able to handle Xen-hypervisor-domctl correctly as Atsushi  
said.

I'm not really shure about my kernel version and its origin because I  
didn't compiled it myself. But it is very likely that my kernel is no  
Fedora one because I use Scientific Linux.
