[Xen-users] Exception starting xend on a FC8 system

["Argyro Andreou" <argyro.andreou@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to run Xen 3.2 on a FC8 system using python 2.5 . I compiled xen from source. 

When I do xend start the daemon does not start. 

This is what I get in the xend.log:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's trying to locate a file but it doesn't exist in its path. 

Any idea which file it's looking for and why it can't find it? I haven't moved around any files or anything like that.  Any idea how I need to modify my path to get it to work?

Also in the debug-log I get:
---------------------------------------------------------
Exception starting xend: (2, 'No such file or directory')
Xend started at Tue Feb 26 10:00:09 2008.
sh: brctl: command not found
sh: brctl: command not found
-------------------------------------------------------------
I do have bridge-utils installed.

Following is list of file location that I suspect it might be looking for. Let me know if any path seems weird:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenconsole
/usr/sbin/xenconsoled
/usr/sbin/xentop
/usr/sbin/xend

Argyro
