Xen project Mailing List

hmm-- there might be some confusion here.

the "--unix" and "--xen" flags are to do with the target being built, not the platform being built on. on a vanilla ubuntu platform i think you should be able to use either (though you might need to apt-get install a few extra packages for --xen, i can't recall; the install/hello-world pages on openmirage.org should say).

given the permission denied error below for the lock file and the other permission errors you were having, i'd strongly suspect it's ownership and permission issues on files due to using sudo on some commands but not others. (though i have to admit i've never come across the ibus stuff before!)

*assuming you've nothing special installed and you know this won't break anything* and that your user and group are both called "carlos" i'd try something like "sudo chown -R carlos:carlos /home/carlos".

if things ever get too confused, you can always "rm -rf ~/.opam" to completely nuke opam state and start again.

all i can suggest at this point about the ibus thing is to use google... :) (and possibly replace ubuntu with debian wheezy...)

However, I cannot complete the Hello World example given there. I think the problem starts with the command "mirage configure --xen", the error encountered is as follows:
