I am trying to install Libvirt with Xen driver on the Opensource Xenserver 6.5. I found that the XenAPI driver lacks some of the APIs like "virConnectNumOfStoragePools" which I need for my work. Hence, I will need to use the libxl or xenlight driver to make this happen. I referred the API Support for libvirt for this decision (https://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html).
I am Unable to get the Xen driver configured with the Libvirt.
Here are the details :-
I failed to find a useful repository that I could use to install the libvirt with Xen driver. Hence, I chose to compile the Libvirt by myself on the Xenserver.
I downloaded Xenserver SDK and installed the libxenserver library from the following link :-
http://xenserver.org/partners/developing-products-for-xenserver.html
Post that, I downloaded libvirt-1.2.21 and ran autogen.sh which led to the following configure command :-
running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-xenapi=/usr/local/lib --with-curl=yes --with-xen=/usr/local/lib --with-gnutls=yes --with-libxl=/usr/local/lib --no-create --no-recursion
The configure script dumped the following data among others :-
configure: Xen: no
configure: QEMU: yes
configure: UML: yes
configure: OpenVZ: yes
configure: VMware: yes
configure: VBox: yes
configure: XenAPI: yes
configure: xenlight: no
configure: LXC: no
configure: PHYP: no
configure: ESX: yes
configure: Hyper-V: no
configure: vz: no
configure: Bhyve: no
configure: Test: yes
configure: Remote: yes
configure: Network: yes
configure: Libvirtd: yes
configure: Interface: no
configure: macvtap: no
configure: virtport: no
It looks like the configure script did not find the relevant Xen libraries and include files.
The virsh reports the following after installation :-
Virsh command line tool of libvirt 1.2.21
See web site at http://libvirt.org/
Compiled with support for:
Hypervisors: QEMU/KVM UML OpenVZ VMWare VirtualBox ESX XenAPI Test
Networking: Remote Network Bridging Nwfilter
Storage: Dir Filesystem SCSI Multipath iSCSI LVM
Miscellaneous: Daemon SELinux Secrets Debug Modular
Useful Info :-
The Kernel for the Xenserver is : 3.10.0+2
Architecture: x86_64
LSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch
Any pointers on if I am missing any configuration or relevant library would be really helpful.
Thanks!
While libvirt does technically have a XenAPI driver, it is effectively unmaintained at this point. The original contributor who wrote it, left Citrix many years ago and no one has stepped forward to take over development of it. So unfortunately, there's not going to be any good answer to solving your problem of missing features in the XenAPI impl of libvirt.

I would like to install jagsUI on the cluster that I am using. However, this requires me to load JAGS4.3.0 module which I have installed on my computer. This is the error I get when installing jagsUI:

I have checked on my terminal whether jags has been installed. The module file for jags is not showing when I do module in the terminal connected to the cluster. I do I load the JAGS software to the cluster?
I would check the documentation page of the hpc cluster. The cluster I used before from my university have already compiled and installed the JAGS module on the cluster. All I needed to do is simply load the module. Usually, the hpc documentation website has a page on what modules are available and also example scripts to load and run them.
I am using gdcmanon to anonimize dicom files like the following:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib ./gdcmanon --certificate CA_cert.cer -e ./dump ./dump/anon
But it gives the following error:
Error: In /home/travis/build/malaterre/GDCM/Source/Common/gdcmCryptoFactory.cxx, line 61, function static gdcm::CryptoFactory* gdcm::CryptoFactory::GetFactoryInstance(gdcm::CryptoFactory::CryptoLib)
No crypto factory registered with id 1
Requested cryptoraphic library not configured.
How can I solve this?
The error is because of binaries you use, it looks like SSL dependencies are not satisfied.
As a solution (workaround?), you can get the binaries via apt system. For Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial distribution, there is version 2.6.3 of libgdcm-tools package.
Another possibility is to compile gdcm from scratch, but you need development files of OpenSSL (apt install libssl-dev). Moreover, to use anonymisation with certificates, in CMake system set GDCM_USE_SYSTEM_OPENSSL=YES.

I have checked this QUESTION but it didn't help.
I have also done yum install libqt4-opengl-dev but got an error No package libqt4-opengl-dev available.
I have got mesa-libGL and mesa-libGL-devel, but it seems like the configure cannot pick up these libraries.
Edit: answer to my own question
please see comments below the question.
I know that it's an old question, but I wanted to leave it in case if someone is still looking for an easy way of installing Octave 4.x.
The easiest way to install Octave 4 is to use Flatpack. It's installed by default in CentOS 7.
flatpak install flathub org.octave.Octave
flatpak run org.octave.Octave
If you're using Red Hat you need to install flatpak it first:
sudo yum install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
I have to admit to be fumbling in the dark here. I am fairly good at PHP but I know little or nothing about managing LINUX servers. I need to install memcached on my 64 bit CentOS 6 server and came across two very informative resources
http://boomshadow.net/tech/installs/how-to-install-memcached/
I followed the steps expained there and the memcached daemon is up and running on my server now. I still need to install the PHP extension for memcache so I tried the steps explained here
http://boomshadow.net/tech/installs/how-to-install-php-memcache/
Here is the output I get
[root#xxx ~]# pecl install memcache

I cannot make a secret of this - most of this is Greek to me. What I think I have figured out is that pecl is looking for a C compiler to build the PHP memcache driver from the downloaded source and cannot find it. Even if that is right it does not help me much.
Just what do I need to do here to get things working correctly.
Old habits die hard, I guess - answering my own question once again.
# yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
to install development tools including the gcc compiler. The memcahe.so extension uses zlib so you also need to do
# yum install zlib-devel
if you came accross configure: error: no, sasl.h is not available. Run configure with --disable-memcached-sasl to disable this check

./configure --enable-memcached-sasl=no

Just setup a fresh server at MediaTemple (dedicated virtual / CentOS Linux) and installed the developer tools, but Mongo won't install, any ideas?
Also, it's trying to DL version 1.2.10 I assume I can run pecl upgrade mongo once it is installed to go to 2.0.6 right?
Here's my output:

You're not installing mongodb with pecl, here you're installing the PHP driver for mongodb.
To install mongodb on CentOS, please follow these instructions here. These instructions show you how to add the 10gen repo, which will then enable you (using yum) to install the latest production-ready mongodb release (2.0.6).
I realise that it's not Ubuntu but egarding your issue with installing the PHP driver, does it make any difference if you run
sudo pecl install mongo
There's some information here on installing the mongo php driver, just replace the 'apt-get' elements with 'yum' as the same libraries, dependencies apply afaik.
Here's a tutorial on using the mongo php driver.
