The problem was related to running ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr. I didn't notice that it did not run correctly. It requires the install gettext-devel which does not come automatically with fedora.
But now the make fails due to an i386 / i386:x86-64 incompatibility. These are the error messages:

My guess is that you are sharing the same subtree between 32 and 64 bits machines and there are remains of the build for x86-64 when attempting

That was the problem. I download the source again to a new director and the incompatibility problem disappeared. However the it failed with a compilation error. There was a missing ';' at the end of the xenUnifiedOpen() function. This is the error message: xen_unified.c: In function 'xenUnifiedOpen': xen_unified.c:348: error: expected ';' before '}' token xen_unified.c:342: warning: label 'clean' defined but not used make[2]: *** [libvirt_la-xen_unified.lo] Error 1 I added the ';' and now it compiles.. This is the diff between the fixed code and the original code: [nagin@arenal src]$ diff xen_unified.c xen_unified.c.org 347c347 < return ret;] ---

This the fixed xen_unified.c (See attached file: xen_unified.c) Thanks for the help. Kenneth
