[libvirt] how to install updated python bindings
hi i was trying to install libvirt 0.5 on my centos 5 machine which by default have libvirt 0.4. But after installing from the source of libvirt, still the output of i get from python remains that of 0.4
import libvirt libvirt.getVersion() 4006
how could i install the new version... Do i need to give any option while configuring or making. thanks and regards visco

If installing manually, configure will default to putting it in /usr/local unless you give a different --prefix option. Python only looks in /usr by default, so when installing custom builds you'll need to set export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|

in general in an rpm based system it's best to upgrade at the rpm level in my opinion, that avoids a lot of troubles, and it's possible to go back without leftovers from previous attemps left and right...

hi thanks Berrange ... after installing python development packages and setting the variables i am able to work out the trouble. @Veillard unfortunately i required some latest version,which is not provided yet as rpm, api for my needs, and hence started from source.

Visco - FYI - You should be able to build a custom rpm via 'make rpm' -----Original Message----- From: libvir-list-bounces@redhat.com on behalf of visco Sent: Fri 12/5/2008 1:05 AM To: Daniel P.
