[XenAccess-devel] Error connecting to xend

[Steve B. <st...@at...>]

I see I have the honor of posting the first plea for help to the list.  I'm
running Fedora Core 5 on an HVM platform, but trying to access a
paravirtualized Fedora domain with xenaccess.  I get error (5) when trying
to invoke xenaccess: could not connect to Xen Daemon.  Below are what I
think are the relevant pieces of information; any ideas on how to proceed
would be greatly appreciated.

libxml2-2.6.23-1.2

The xenxc library is tucked away inside my local copy of the xen-unstable
mercurial directory, but xenaccess compiled using make OK anyway without any
warnings or errors.

I had to change the run script as follows:
#!/bin/sh
#export LD_PRELOAD=../libxenaccess.so:/usr/local/lib/libvirt.so
export LD_PRELOAD=../libxenaccess.so:/usr/lib/libvirt.so
$@
export LD_PRELOAD=
