Hey Alex,
Thanks a lot for helping me out. I just figured out the previous two issues
by moving all of the stuff under /usr/local/lib64/python2.6/site-packages
to /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages. The errors went away.
Thanks again for your helpful posts.

I removed everything and rebuilt from scratch like what I did before
(i.e.
make uninstall && rpm -e libvirt --nodeps && rpm -e libvirt-client
--nodeps
&& ./autogen.sh --system && make && make install.) However, the
libvirtd
installed is not the one stored in the PATH. So it will have trouble
finding it while typing "libvirtd start". I didn't change the
environmental
variables. Instead, I removed everything and rebuilt it from scratch with
all default settings (i.e. make uninstall && rpm -e libvirt --nodeps &&
rpm
-e libvirt-client --nodeps && ./configure && make && make
install.) to see
what will happen. After rebuilt, the system can identify "libvirtd start",
which means I can start libvirtd. Also I restarted xend. However, when I
was running the "old" command "strace -o strace.txt virt-install
--connect=xen:/// -p". Another error popped out, here is the running script:
]# strace -o strace.txt virt-install --connect=xen:/// -p
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 33, in <module>
import virtinst
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/__init__.py", line 35,

import libvirt
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 25, in
<module>
ImportError: No module named libvirtmod
Please find the strace.txt attached for this error. It seems that
libvirtmod module is missing. I followed each step I did before but
encountered this error for the first time. Could you see how can I let the
service to find the module?
Thanks,
