The following patches does 3 things which correct annoyances when running as an user or when running from a tree built with --prefix=/usr - avoid error message when non-root cannot open xenstore - avoid error message when non-root cannot directly access xend in those two cases the proxy (or remote code) should implement the access so there is no need to raise the error there. - when configuring with --prefix=/usr i.e. the same prefix as the installed libvirt, use the same localstatedir /var (instead of /usr/var) and sysconfdir /etc (instead of /usr/etc) to be able to connect to the system daemon, and use the system local options Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
