Re: Problem using xl on Debian

[Sai Kiran Kumar Reddy <skiran@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply. I was actually trying to build Xen on the Linux From Scratch(LFS) system. While doing so, I got "xl: command not found" error. I wanted to know if the issue is with my LFS system or some configuration issue with xen. Hence I tried to build xen on debian and was hoping that if there is no error there, it would mean that there was some issue with my LFS. So, even though there are prepackaged versions of xen for Debian, I went ahead with building from source. 

However, I have just found that the error is because "/usr/local/bin & /usr/local/sbin" are not added to the PATH variable. Once I did that, I was able to proceed past the error. Hope I answered your question. Thanks for the support though, Chris.

Just out of curiosity, why did you compile from source on Debian? They provide prepackaged versions.

Hi,

I am new to Xen. I have built Xen from source on the Debian11 system. After rebooting, I see that first Xen is loaded and then Debian is loaded, which is as expected. When I use the command "xl", I get an error saying "xl command not found". After looking at some articles, I find that I need to install xen-utils-common. I installed it. But I get the error message that says "ERROR:  Can't find version 4.16 of xen utils (maybe xen-utils-4.16 was already removed before rebooting out of Xen 4.16), bailing out!"

I think I need to build xen-utils-4.16 also from source. But I am not able to find xen-utils-4.16 source code. I am not sure how to fix the error. Could anyone help me out here.

Thanks in advance for your help and support.
