Hi,
I'm trying to install the newest version of libvirt and libvirt-client from
the rpms at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ on a Fedora 14 machine. The naming of
the rpms as "libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm" suggests that this is exactly
the system this was made for, however, installation still does not go
smoothly.
When I try to install these packages with
yum install libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm \
libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm
, some of the dependencies get resolved automatically, but not all of them,
and I get these error messages:
Error: Package: libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64 (/libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64)
Requires: libblktapctl.so.1.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64 (/libvirt-
client-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64)
Requires: libnetcf.so.1(NETCF_1.4.0)(64bit)

Requires: libnetcf.so.1(NETCF_1.4.0)(64bit)
Apparently, I need newer versions of netcf-libs and xen-libs. Where do I get
these from? There don't appear to be any official rpms or that for Fedora
14...
Regards,
Guido

libvirt-0.9.4 uses netcf APIs that were added in netcf-0.1.9. I had made
Fedora 14 and Fedora 15 builds of netcf-0.1.9 last month, but forgot to
push them to stable (and they weren't autopushed because nobody gave
them karma). I just did this now, so as long as you have the updates
repo turned on, sometime later today you should be able to "yum update"
and get the version of netcf you need to run libvirt-0.9.4.
I'm not sure what the deal is with the version of xen-libs. My F14 box
(which has updates, updates-testing, and virt-preview repos all enabled)
has xen-libs-4.0.2, which seems to be new enough to build and install
the newest libvirt, but it looks like it doesn't have that file (or else
I'm looking in the wrong place).

Hi,
If i remember correctly you'll also need to update xen-libs and qemu in
order to use virtio disks. Since libvirt does not correctly passes the
argument to qemu. Instead of disk=...,if=virtio it passes
disk=...,if=none. With older versions of qemu (< 0.15.x) this will lead
to non booting vm's when using virtio.

Nothing so far...
I'm not sure what the deal is with the version of xen-libs. My
F14 box
(which has updates, updates-testing, and virt-preview repos all enabled)
has xen-libs-4.0.2, which seems to be new enough to build and install
the newest libvirt, but it looks like it doesn't have that file (or else
I'm looking in the wrong place).
Same here, xen-libs 4.0.2 is installed, but no libblktapctl.so.* can be found
anywhere.
A bit of googling suggests that the only way to get that library is through
xen-libs packages versioned 4.1.0 or up.
Maybe libvirt's configure script dynamically detects the presence of that
library and only links to it if it's there? That would explain why it's
possible to build libvirt from source on Fedora 14, but not install
corresponding RPMs, if those have been built with that library present on the
build system for some reason.
