You should give /usr/lib64 as the path.

As for why it doesn't work, though, I'm really very confused.
Obviously I don't get the error you're seeing, and I don't understand
how something as simple as '-lvirt' can fail if you have libvirt
installed.

Have you tried using our binaries? Might be easier than trying to
build it:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450713

Also, the new version I'm preparing is much less alpha than the one
you are trying to build. If you can wait until after this weekend,
you may find a much better / more practical version for your needs.

Rich.

You have got libvirt installed, right? If you installed libvirt on
some non-standard path then you may need to tell configure where it
is. I think you need to do:



Yes, libvirt is already installed,

[root@dhcp7-90 virt-mem-0.3.0]# rpm -q libvirt
libvirt-0.4.4-3.fc10.x86_64
libvirt-0.4.4-3.fc10.i386




LIBS="/some/nonstandard/path" ./configure

If that doesn't work try LIBRARY_PATH instead of LIBS


which path should i specify as LIBS or LIBRARY_PATH , as the libvirt rpm
installs libraries of libvirt in /usr/lib64.



You should give /usr/lib64 as the path.

I will wait for some more time, till you release the updated version,
is it possible to have a binary RPM ?

Sure ... I'll be building binaries for 0.3.1 on Tuesday, or whenever
the Fedora infrastructure comes back to life.

virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any
software inside the virtual machine. Supports Linux and Windows.

Here's a build of 0.3.1:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=784664

It failed on ppc64, I think simply because the compiler ran out of
memory compiling one of the biggest source files (kernel.ml which
corresponds to the kernel database).

But it should be OK to use the i686 RPM on 32 bit guests.

You should read the FAQ:

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
