[Libvir] build problems on RHEL5, at least some are now fixed
Daniel Berrange noticed some build problems on RHEL5. Some were due to my not adding two .m4 files in yesterday's gnulib update. [excuse time ;-) Normally (in other projects), the gnulib-update process is automatic, since the imported files are not version-controlled, but for libvirt I have to identify new files pulled in by a gnulib update, and obviously didn't complete that step. Identifying and adding added files is not hard. Just have to remember to do it before committing anything. Actually, the trick is (as usual) to *automate* the process, so we don't have to depend on my memory. This is now on my list. Anyhow, I've committed the change.

I've tested on RHEL-5 it works as expected now.

can you let me know which version of libvirt builds on RHEL5 please as i have been having nightmare getting the src rpm to build - Or does anyone have a recent libvirt for RHEL5 as i could do with it to go with Xen 3.2
All versions of libvirt should build successfully with RHEL-5. It is one of our supported platforms - we intend to support any Linux distro with software of RHEL-5 vintage or later.
