Public bug reported: Apparently, libvirt 1.1.1 wasn't compiled with libvirt-lxc support. I'm installing libvirt-bin and libvirt-dev from precise-updates/havana, and libvirt-python 1.2.3 from PIP.
The build fails because it can't link against the "virt-lxc" library, as you can see here: https://travis-ci.org/omribahumi/libvirt_metadata_api/builds/22286825#L321 Inspecting libvirt-python-1.2.3 pip package reveals that it assumes libvirt-lxc support was compiled in if libvirt version is >= 1.0.2: MIN_LIBVIRT_LXC = "1.0.2" # ... def have_libvirt_lxc(): try: spawn([get_pkgcfg(), "--atleast-version=%s" % MIN_LIBVIRT_LXC, "libvirt"]) return True except DistutilsExecError: return False The question is, is this a libvirt-python bug or a nova-compute libvirt- dev package bug?
