yes, my libvirt rpm and other related rpms all came from the RHEL 5.4
iso. And they all build for itanium 64
# rpm -qa | grep libvirt
libvirt-python-0.6.3-20.el5
libvirt-devel-0.6.3-20.el5
libvirt-0.6.3-20.el5
And i try to make a link, it still doesn't work.

After make install, when i run virt-manager, the error is:

thanks a lot

I recently tested upstream virt-manager on older RHEL 5.3 and fixed several
back compat issues, including the one above. I'd recommend giving virt-manager
0.8.1 a shot, and report back here if you still hit virt-manager errors.
Thanks,
