I writed a howto to compile the libvirt and virt-manager on Debian etch: http://wiki.xen-br.org/index.php?title=Compiling_libvirt_in_Debian_etch I make a libxen3-dev to solve the libvirt compilation (in document). Regards Marco Sinhoreli On 7/4/07, Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> wrote:

I read on the list that other people tried to install libvirt on Debian Etch. I finally succeeded so I'll post a little Howto. Maybe someone with a better understanding of automake and C stuff knows a nicer way but the ugly folder with the links to the different header files.
The start point is a Debian Etch with a running Xen (in my case it's
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae package). If you're not using the PAE version of the xen-hypervisor change the "apt-get source" line accordingly.
First you will need to install a bunch of development packages
apt-get install build-essential libxml2-dev libncurses5-dev apt-get isntall libreadline5-dev python-dev
Go to your home directory and install the Xen hypervisor sources
cd apt-get source xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae
Create a folder with a bunch of symbolic links. We will use this folder libvirt to find the header files.
mkdir libvirt-include cd libvirt-include/ ln -s /root/xen-3.0-3.0.3-0/xen/include/public/xen.h ln -s /root/xen-3.0-3.0.3-0/tools/xenstore/xs.h ln -s /root/xen-3.0-3.0.3-0/tools/xenstore/xs_lib.h ln -s /root/xen-3.0-3.0.3-0/xen/include/public xen ln -s /root/xen-3.0-3.0.3-0/linux-2.6-xen-sparse/include/xen/public/ xen/linux
Configure the dynamic linker that it will be able to find the
echo '/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/lib' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i486-
ldconfig
Hum, this really is the installation of Xen, hopefully you should be able to download prepackaged version, including the development part to avoid

but I have no experience with Debian myself.
This is because the xen-devel equivalent on Debian was not including the header files for Xen. I believe this problem is in the process of being fixed, so this work around won't be neccessary in future.
