It doesn't because I built libcurl on a different path
(/usr/local/lib)
So I won't damage other stuff on this box.
I thought that this is what the LIBCURL_LIBS and LIBCURL_CFLAGS env vars are
for.
No, but installing in the /usr/local prefix should also work with
pkg-config. The .pc for libcurl should be located at
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc and pkg-config should find it.
Maybe you have to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH in order to have pkg-config pick
it up.
Check the output of:
pkg-config libcurl --modversion
It should output 7.18 or what ever your version is, if installed correctly.
btw - Do I really need libcurl 7.18? trying to install it pushing me
into
the depnendncy hell:
[...]
Hm... I just looked at the changelist of libcurl and something older
like version 7.15 may also work, but I haven't tested it. You could
give it a try and edit the configure.in file and change 7.18 to 7.15
and see if that works out.

Matthias

ESX4i doesn't seem to work yet - the API version has changed:
error: internal error Expecting VI API version '2.5.0' or '2.5u2' but
found '4.0'
Patching libvirt to allow the 4.0 API version allows me to connect and
list guests, but trying to dumpxml a guest definition fails:
virsh # dumpxml alvis
error: memory conf:1: expecting a name
Then again dumpxml fails for me with ESX3i as well, though with a
different error:
virsh # dumpxml bsa
error: internal error Missing essential config entry 'scsi0.virtualDev'

ESX4i doesn't seem to work yet - the API version has changed:
error: internal error Expecting VI API version '2.5.0' or '2.5u2' but
found
'4.0'
The driver development was done based on ESX 3.5, I haven't checked
yet what changed between VI API version 2.5 and 4.0, but that's
already on the todo list.
Patching libvirt to allow the 4.0 API version allows me to connect
and list
guests, but trying to dumpxml a guest definition fails:
virsh # dumpxml alvis
error: memory conf:1: expecting a name
What's the content of line number 1 of the alvis.vmx file?
Then again dumpxml fails for me with ESX3i as well, though with a
different
error:
virsh # dumpxml bsa
error: internal error Missing essential config entry 'scsi0.virtualDev'
Oh, that's a bug in the VMX parsing code, I'll fix that. The VMX
parsing hasn't get much testing with in-the-wild VMX files yet. It
would be useful if you could send my some of your VMX files to build
up a pool as input for automatic testing and to make the VMX parser
more robust.
You could apply this quick fix for testing:
diff --git a/src/esx/esx_vmx.c b/src/esx/esx_vmx.c
index 635a483..dddb7c4 100644
--- a/src/esx/esx_vmx.c

@@ -822,7 +822,7 @@ esxVMX_ParseSCSIController(virConnectPtr conn,

if (esxUtil_GetConfigString(conn, conf, virtualDev_name,

goto failure;
}

What's the content of line number 1 of the alvis.vmx file?
The first two lines are:
.encoding = "UTF-8"
config.version = "8"
Looking at an ESX3i one I see the .encoding line is not there so I guess
that is the problem.

Yes, the leading dot is the problem. I'll have to tweak the config
parser to allow for leading dots.

How do you connect to the esxi?
Should I open an ssh in my ESXi server?
[root@rain8 libvirt]# virsh -c esx+ssh://rain3/system
error: cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

Over https.

[root@rain8 libvirt]# virsh -c esx+ssh://rain3/system
error: cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
I just use "virsh -c esx://root@server" and it connects over https by
default.
I did have to hack the code to stop curl trying to validate the self
signed cert on the server.

I assume you set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to 0. Good idea I'll add that
in they way the no_verify query parameter work for libvirtd based
transports.

The ESX driver works with an out-of-the-box installation of ESX/ESXi, just use:
virsh -c esx://rain3
The ESX driver doesn't use libvirtd or any remote transport mechanisms
of libvirt, it uses the remote VI API, that is based on https. So
you'll have to setup the certificates for https correctly, or
configure the driver to use http instead (virsh -c
esx://rain3?transport=http), if you have your ESXi configured to allow
http connections.

Matthias
