You're on RHEL5.2ish, right?  The libvirt-0.3.3 in RHEL has been patched
to fix a bug, but the version number was not updated.  In the code, we
alter our expected definition of a libvirt function based on the version
number to avoid this warning.  However, this will always fail on RHEL
5.2.  Just use --disable-werror when working on systems with a patched
libvirt-0.3.3.

Ah yes, I noticed this the other day, but forgot to fix it.  This is
definitely a problem, but I'm confused about why it is fatal for you.  I
get a warning, but the registration process proceeds.

This may be caused by some cruft in your repository.  You might try
nuking our namespace and trying again.  To do that, do something like:

  rm -Rf /usr/lib64/Pegasus/repository/root\#virt
