Re: [Xen-users] Can someone please build a Xen 3.2 rpm for CentOS 5.1x64?

["Marco Strullato" <marco.strullato@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I followed you instructions, I've build and installed
xen-3.2.0-0xs and xen-libs-3.2.0-0xs.
Now I get this error when I execute xm list:

Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running?

And into the xend.log I have

[2008-04-24 09:48:01 3499] INFO (SrvDaemon:331) Xend Daemon started

I read this is about the python used in the previous version of xen of
mu centos5 linux but I suppose this error is due to the previous
kernel.

Now I'm running this:

[root@hyp10 ~]# uname -a
Linux hyp10.infolan 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Mar 5 12:08:17

And this is the python I have installed:

How do you suggest me to go on?

Thanks
