[libvirt-users] Error when compiling libvirt 1.2.7 on CentOS 6.4

[Hongbin Lu]

Hi,

I was trying to follow this guide (http://libvirt.org/compiling.html) to
compile libvirt1.2.7 on CentOS6.4. There is an error on executing "make".
Below is the steps to reproduce and the error messages. Any help is
appreciated. Thanks.

$ sudo yum install gcc make gnutls-devel device-mapper-devel \
    python-devel libnl-devel yajl-devel \
    libxml2-devel libpciaccess-devel
$ wget ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-1.2.7.tar.gz
$ gunzip -c libvirt-1.2.7.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd libvirt-1.2.7/
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
--with-openvz=yes
$ make
.....
