[Gllug] Odd Xen Error

[Stephen Nelson-Smith]

Hello chums,

On a newly installed C5 machine, I seem to be unable to install anything:

[root at maple ~]# virt-install
libvir: Remote error : No such file or directory
libvir: warning : Failed to find the network: Is the daemon running ?
What is the name of your virtual machine? jim
 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /dev/VolGroup00/test
 Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
 What is the install location? http://oak/rpms_repo/centos/5/os/i386


Starting install...

    return XenGuest.XenGuest.start_install(self, consolecb)

    self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(cxml, 0)

    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed',
conn=self)

Googling hasn't turned anything up...   This has never failed
before... what's going on?
