dear everyone, I am a student from china, i am studying the SVPC and libvirt-cim, I have successed in installing the Xen, libvirt API and openwbem on Ubuntu, but when I tried to compile the libvirt-cim, I got some problems. First, when I carried out the ./configure, it tells CANNOT FIND THE CMPI HEADERS, I tried to add the header files to the corresponding lib folder, and it's OK. Next, when i carry out "make" instruction, i met another problem, i lis ted here... gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -DCMPI_VERSION=100 -I/usr/include/openwbem -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/local/include/libcmpiutil -g -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wstrict-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wformat=2 -Wformat-security -Wformat-nonliteral -Wno-format-y2k -Wcast-align -Wno-unused-value -DLIBVIRT_CIM_CS=\"\" -DLIBVIRT_CIM_RV=\"\" -I../libxkutil -Werror -c Virt_ComputerSystem.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/Virt_ComputerSystem.o Virt_ComputerSystem.c:903: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘CMPIInstanceMI’ Virt_ComputerSystem.c:922: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘CMPIMethodMI’ make[3]: *** [Virt_ComputerSystem.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/libvirt-cim-bbcd58a5a44a/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/libvirt-cim-bbcd58a5a44a/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/libvirt-cim-bbcd58a5a44a' make: *** [all] Error 2 i am eager to solve the problem, thank all of you for your kind advices! best wishes! hope good health! sinceresly sean_ggz from Shanghai China
