Hello,

Hopefully this finds you well.

This is not a bug report but more or less an inquiry as based on the information acquired from Jim Fehlig a while back, it is possible you would have some important information regarding this.

It is currently not possible for me to compile libvirt right from the word go while configuring with the error [1]. From the look of it and a bit of searching on the internet, it does look like the package portablexdr is obsolete.

Could it be that this is a known issue? Could it be there already is a workaround this? Do you suppose this should go into the mailing list?

[1] checking for WIRESHARK_DISSECTOR... no checking for xdrmem_create in -lportablexdr... no checking for library containing xdrmem_create... no configure: error: Cannot find a XDR library

You're missing a build pre-requisite library for XDR. On Linux distros this is provided by "tirpc" these days, try libtirpc-devel RPM or libtirpc-dev Debian package.

Thanks a lot! My distribution/distro is openSUSE. Posting this here, for list purposes as someone might find it worthwhile. $zypper in libpciaccess-devel device-mapper-devel rst2html5 libtirpc-devel rpcgen Other packages were probably already installed. $zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Publishing/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Pu... Had to add the above repo for package rst2html5 Sincerely, David
