[libvirt-users] build libvirt from source yourself and make sure to get the XenAPI driver enabled.

[Lovocas Mou]

Hi,
   I want install libvirt on my ubuntu11.04, and I want to test using
libvirt to manage a xenserver,

after download the tar and extract them
when in this step : ./configure --with-esx --with-xenapi
--prefix=/opt/libvirt


....
checking for xen_vm_start in -lxenserver... no
configure: error: You must install the XenServer Library to compile XenAPI
driver with -lxenserver
.....
I get this error, but i get very few information about it from google.

don't know how to install it and how to use -lxenserver,
