I download xen3.0.2-23.src.rpm and build the dom0 Kernel in Fedora COre 5 in x86 mode. I did not build a domU kernel at all. I tried to run ./xenguest-install.py in dom0 kernel after booting into it.. I got this error "No module named libvirt".
I then tried installing libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386.rpm using "rpm --install libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386.rpm"
I get failed dependencies error such as "libxenstore.so is needed by libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386 xen is needed by libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386"
what am I missing here ? I have libxenstore.so in /usr/lib. Commands like "xm list" works in dom0 kernel
thanks for your help Shobha

There is a set of tightly interconnected packages that are needed. You cannot just upgrade one of them, especially the xen RPM. The set of source RPMs are kernel (-xen), xen, libvirt, python-xeninst (and virt-manager) . Don't try to upgrade one without upgrading the others. The RPM dependancies are here to express the tight coupling between those packages, don't try to --force or --nodeps you're nearly garanteed to have a not running Xen setup if you do. The best is to upgrade to FC6 test3 if you want to try a recent version, and to FC6 final when it's out.
