[libvirt-users] compilation error

[antoni artigues]

Hello

Thank you for the answer

Now, with this patch, and only ESX enabled returns a different error:

--------------------------------------
Making all in daemon
make[2]: Entering directory
`/root/InstalledPackages/libvirt-0.8.3/daemon'
make  all-am
make[3]: Entering directory
`/root/InstalledPackages/libvirt-0.8.3/daemon'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `libvirtd.8', needed by `all-am'.
Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/root/InstalledPackages/libvirt-0.8.3/daemon'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/root/InstalledPackages/libvirt-0.8.3/daemon'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/InstalledPackages/libvirt-0.8.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2
--------------------------------------

It seems a libvirtd error, but libvirtd is not enabled:

"configure: Libvirtd: no"

I don't know why returns a libvirtd error. Is there another patch to
solve this?

Thanks in advance

Antoni Artigues
