I've done this many a time from a Xen source tarball.  Can you post some
more output?

Here's what I usually do in general, followed by kludges to make it work :-P
:

hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.0-testing.hg
cd xen-3.0-testing.hg
make world
make install
cd /lib/modules/
depmod *xen*
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-xen *xen*

# edit grub.conf with something like
#  Xen
#      kernel /xen.gz
#      module /vmlinuz-xen
#      module /initrd-xen

Unfortunately, I've needed to do the following kludges very often

# instead of 'make world'
make KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0" world

# use *xen0* instead of *xen*, the dom0 kernel (vmlinuz-xen0) can be used
for domU's
# as well as domU's

# instead of the plain mkinitrd command above
mkinitrd --omit-scsi-modules /boot/initrd-xen *xen0*

I'd like to know how to package this properly.  Maybe the Xensource source
RPM would be worth dissecting ...  What do you mean by 'cp errors' when
trying to use the XenSource source RPM?

Who knows what rpm libcrypto is from -- try openssl.

Peace.

I've have been trying to get xen to build on a RHEL 4.4 x86_64 box and
cannot get it to build. I'm getting libcrypto errors trying to build
from src, and cp failures with the xen src rpm from xensource.

Has anyone been able to get Xen to build properly or know where freakin'
rpms for RHEL4.4 x86_64? I've tried the FC5, and CentOS xen rpms and no
go.

TIA,
Roy
