Thanks much Abbas for your prompt response. Right, I have fixed all the dependency issues. It compiled but failed during running test cases. I prefer building from src-rpm is because I need to install the package onto other machines. Building from src-rpm can generate rpm so it makes future deploy easier.

Then the start off point will be CentOS' srpms. You might still need to do some patchwork and testing before you get a working rpm (a reason why there's no third party repo for latest kvm and libvirt). Installing on multiple machines sounds like you tend towards stability and Fedora's packages won't do that job anyway!

Anyway, follow your recommendation, I downloaded the source tar and tried to compile it from source. This time I am seeing following problems. What could be the problem?

Thanks, Frank

Try using the supplied autogen script first.

It's a missing dep error.
