Hi,

Even though I have solved the compile error and successfully compiled 
and installed Xen 4.3-unstable changeset 26666, it is broken and not usable.

Please refer to the following errors.

teo-en-ming@intel-core-i5-4430-desktop:~$ sudo xl create /etc/xen/windows7
Parsing config from /etc/xen/windows7

Please tell me how to solve the above errors.

Thank you very much.
