RE: [Xen-users] Make world problem compiling Xen 4.0.1 from source
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the suggestion. I installed 10.04 with OpenSSH and ran through the instructions in the post you suggested. Parts 1 and 2 seemed to go well (the /usr/src directory by default is owned by root and only allows write to owner so I worked under the assumption that the instructions in part 2 are expected to be run as root) but when I got to section 3 and make prep-kernels I got another error. Here are the results below and it looks like the same fatal git error regarding "branch already exists" is preventing me from completing the process and nothing really works after that. Unfortunately, I'm out of my depth in trying to understand what's wrong and googling the git error doesn't seem to produce anything relevant. There seems to be something related to either the distro or my hardware that's causing compile from source to be problematic. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get around this git problem I'd love to hear from you as I could then go back to either installation path and try again.
Stepping back from this particular issue, I like Ubuntu, but I'm not completely attached to it for this purpose. Does anyone have any recommendations for a distro they've had better luck with installing Xen server on? It seems to be relatively highly recommended in the community, but I'm just not having any luck with it. Should I just get the live CD and install it as my Xen server and then figure out my guest OSes from there?
Thanks,
Scott

> Per the Ubuntu community documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen#Maverick%20Notes%20(Xen%204.0.1%20pvops%20on%20Ubuntu%2010.10) I am trying to install Xen 4.0.1 from source which I got from bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.0.1/xen-4.0.1.tar.gz because apparently the ubuntu-xen-server package has broken dependencies. The instructions as provided state that gettext, bin86, bcc, libc6-dev-i386, iasl, texinfo and git are needed and even after that, I found (presumably because the server was installed with only the core operating system and OpenSSH server) that make world wouldn't run properly and I also needed to install build-essential libssl-dev uuid-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libx11-dev and python-dev.
