Check with your sysadmins, most of this really isn't related to libvirt, but how to use RPM. In general you seems to try to do relatively advanced sysadmin operations (virtualization) without much experience about it. Using xen-3.0.1 is risky, it's old code. Using RHEL-4 derivative for this is risky too, RHEL-4 doesn't yet have virtualization support. You need minimal knowledge on compilation and possibly package maintainance. So please listen to me, and check with the people who maintain that special version of the system you are using, most of this really isn't related to libvirt itself, and there is no garantee that even after weeks of trying to help you over mail you would get something working.

But again ... check with your system administrator ! Daniel
