Hi,
i don't know if this is the right place for my question, but i hope. I have a problem which is in my belief related to SELinux.
I try to install the application "virt-manager", which is intendend to be for the control of virtuell domains in KVM.
My box is SLES 11 SP1, 64bit, kernel 2.6.32.
But starting the application throws an error:
pc56846:~ # Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 26, in <module>
import libvirt
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 25, in <module>
raise lib_e
ImportError: /usr/lib64/libvirt.so.0: undefined symbol: selinux_virtual_domain_context_path
[1]+ Exit 1 virt-manager
pc56846:~ #
What I found out is that the package "linux-utils", beginning with version 2.1.9, include two manpages having names related to my error:
/usr/share/man/man5/virtual_domain_context.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/virtual_image_context.5.gz
I tried to install linux-utils, but didn't find the right version for my box. So I installed the mentioned version, breaking some dependendcies. That didn't help. I don't know if this is not the desired package or if the error is related to the missing dependencies.
Any ideas ?
Bernd

selinux_virtual_domain_context_path comes from libselinux. I have no
idea if the version of libselinux in SLES has the required export. If
SLES doesn't have a new enough version of libselinux, then it's a
libvirt bug that they built with SELinux support on your distro.
So either install libselinux, or file a bug against libvirt if you can't....

Hi Eric,
thanks for your answer. How do i know if a version of libselinux hast the required export ?
I installed linux-utils 2.1.9, which include a manpage for "virtual domain context" (/usr/share/man/man5/virtual_domain_context.5.gz). Is that a hint that this version has the required export ?
Do I need libselinux or libselinux-utils ? I have already installed libselinux1. Is this the same as libselinux ?
Thanks for helping.

Lets start by saying again, I don't know anything about how SUSE
packages stuff. But, libselinux is going to be the package that
provides /usr/lib(64)/libselinux.so.1. You should be able to run
something like:
$ nm /usr/lib64/libselinux.so.1 -D | grep selinux_virtual_domain_context_path
If you get output, then your library is new enough. My output looked like:
00000038cbe16fe0 T selinux_virtual_domain_context_path
I don't know why the man page is a part of linux-utils. That's not
how other distros ship it, but I can promise, "linux-utils" is a red
herring. The problem is that the version of libvirt you are using
requires a version of libselinux which includes
selinux_virtual_domain_context_path. Getting a new enough version of
libselinux installed or getting a version of libvirt which doesn't
require SELinux is going to be how you get this fixed. It might be
best to bring your problem to your SUSE technical support
representative, since I don't anything about how they package things
and I don't hear from a lot of SELinux users on SLES on list...
-Eric

Looks like libvirt expects to be linked against libselinux. If you built
without SELINUX support then their is a bug in the ifdef code of libvirt that
should not be making this call.
