-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ah, I knew hyper was 64-bit, but it has no definition on OS X. I thought that long on OS X 10.5.1 was 64 bits in width -- my mistake.
There wre two bugs in the remoteAuthenticate method in libvirt 0.4.0 which can cause crashes. I'd recommend testing again with libvirt from the latest CVS checkout - its pretty likely that'll fix your problem.
The funny thing is that I have all auth mechanisms turned off in libvirtd. But I can see how some of the library's init code may be failing. I did try to build the package from HEAD, but that failed. I will try again and report the errors. Thanks! - -- - -a On Jan 21, 2008, at 5:20 PM, Daniel P. Berrange wrote:

I spent the weekend attempting to get libvirt working on OS X Leopard 10.5.1. I was able to get it to compile, but not connect to libvirtd running on either my KVM or Xen servers. Here are the instructions for getting it to compile:
1. Download libvirt-0.4.0 from the mirrors.
2. Use macports to install pkgconfig and gnutls
3. Configure your source:
./configure --without-xen --without-qemu
4. Replace instances of 'hyper' in qemu/remote_protocol.x with 'long' and then follow the instructions on http://libvirt.org/windows.html to regen XDR structures.
This is going to fail big time. 'hyper' is 64-bit in size, where as long is 32-bit. Any RPC calls which user hyper will crash and burn if you make this change.
What errors do you get if you don't make this change ? There may be better ways to provide compatability.
10. The sources should now build and install.
At this point any attempt to connect to a remote host results in the thread dying and OS X catching the exception with the following report:
