I'm looking for the rpm's for Xen 3.2 x64 to use on CentOS 5.1. Unfortunately I have had no joy in trying to rebuild the src rpm. If anyone has done it before, please let me know


what is the error you are seeing - the link below is great and outlines exactly how to build this from the src rpm

HI Tom.

I clearly don't have the experience to properly do this, and currently my test machine has a lot of extra software installed which I don't even know if I need it / want it. The server will run cPanel, so I need to have an absolute bare bones system.

Needless to say, I don't know what exactly to give you. The snippets of forum / mailing lists posts I have read so far have given me some stuff to work with, but nothing concrete and step-by-step. I also don't have the bandwidth to download every suggested package and try it out just to see it's not working. Nor do I have endless hours at hand to learn all of this. I'm not a developer / programmer, so I don't even know how to debug the stuff I do. Having run rpmbuild --rebuild --target x86_64 xen-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.src.rpm* -* I don't know where what is, and I don't see a modified rpm. I know enough about rpm files and how to use them, but not how to make them.

I basically need an easy way to deploy XEN server, without having to compile tarball files, and without having to rebuild a src.rpm on every machine. So, a pre-build rpm would be nice, then I can just include it on the installation CD and install when needed
