How did you install Xen? I'm sure I asked that already, but I can't remember whether or no you answered (if yes, sorry). Last time I tired to compile libvirt with libxl=yes on a Debian system it was failing because of some issues with the Xen Debian packages (or so I recall), although that was with Xen 4.3.0. So, did you also build Xen yourself or you apt-get installed it? > root@boss[daemon]#xl info -n > host : boss > release : 3.2.0-4-amd64 > version : #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 > machine : x86_64 > nr_cpus : 8 > max_cpu_id : 7 > nr_nodes : 1 > cores_per_socket : 4 > threads_per_core : 2 > cpu_mhz : 3392 > hw_caps : > bfebfbff:28100800:00000000:00007f40:77bae3ff:00000000:00000001:00000281 > virt_caps : hvm > total_memory : 3970 > free_memory : 442 > sharing_freed_memory : 0 > sharing_used_memory : 0 > free_cpus : 0 > cpu_topology : > cpu: core socket node > 0: 0 0 0 > 1: 0 0 0 > 2: 1 0 0 > 3: 1 0 0 > 4: 2 0 0 > 5: 2 0 0 > 6: 3 0 0 > 7: 3 0 0 > numa_info : > node: memsize memfree distances > 0: 4590 442 10 > xen_major : 4 > xen_minor : 2 > xen_extra : .1 > Mmm... I have to admit that the most of the testing I did when working on the patch for libvirt that introduced the call to libxl_get_physinfo() that is failing, happened on Xen 4.3, but I'm sure I tested it with 4.2 a couple of times, and I don't see why it wouldn't work there... If you tell me the precise version of the distro you're using I'll see if I can give it a try.
