[libvirt-users] diificulty installing or building libvert

[Jeff Gaer]

I am unable to install or build libvert for RHEL4-64. Due to the errors below. Is it because all the source/rpms are for Fedora? I don't see any redhat versions on the sources page. Thanks in advance for any help.


When running make against the untarred /libvirt-0.9.4.tar.gz configure succeeds but make fails.

make  all-am

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/jgaer/Desktop/NiFi/libvirt-0.9.4/src'
  CC     libvirt_driver_nwfilter_la-nwfilter_learnipaddr.lo

nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.c:522: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.c:522: error: for each function it appears in.)


installing the src rpm fails

when trying to install  rpm -i  libvirt-0.9.7-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm
 even with –force I get a long list of unresolved dependencies including all previous versions of libvirt.so

Trying to use rpmbuild results in the following missing dependancies. I am unable to build or install the libpcap-devel because of a dependency on libcap1 which seems to only exist for suse,
