The specific problem is that perl-Sys-Virt is going to be added to the next release of RHEL (5.4) in a month, and for this reason we cannot add it to EPEL (for RHEL 5.3) now. Solution is probably to download the source RPM and build from there. There are some parts of the spec file which build virt-inspector that are commented out. If you have a perl-Sys-Virt RPM then you can uncomment those and build it. Our latest source RPM is here: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libguestfs/1.0.65/2.el5/src/li... (found from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8391) perl-Sys-Virt is here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sys-Virt/ You should be able to build an RPM using: wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DA/DANBERR/Sys-Virt-0.2.0.tar.gz rpmbuild -ta Sys-Virt-0.2.0.tar.gz Here is a guide to setting up and using rpmbuild: http://genetikayos.com/code/repos/rpm-tutorial/trunk/rpm-tutorial.html Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
