xenguest-install.py reports "no module named libvirt" in FC5 x86 mode

xenguest-install.py reports "no module named libvirt" in FC5 x86 mode

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 698 bytes --]

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.
   
  thanks for your help
  Shobha

libxenstore.so is part of xen-libs package which you don't need while 
compiling from src rpms.

If you are going to compile xen from source, you should have to install 
the libvirt rpm using --nodeps option and compile it.

rpm --install libvirt-0.0.6-1.i386.rpm --nodeps

No, there is absolutely *NO* need to install libvirt when compiling the
Xen RPM - there is no compile time dependancy, and you certainly should
not use --nodeps when installing RPMs.

Did you install both xen & xen-libs ?

The version of Xen you installed  probably has a newer libxenstore.so
which includes versioning, while the libvirt you installed was linked
against the older non-versioned libxenstore.so. What does 

  rpm -q --provides xen xen-libs | grep xenstore

Show ?

BTW, you'll also want libvirt-python RPM too
