This is a second attempt at fixing the problem first attempted in commit 2df8d99; basically undoing the fact that it was reverted in commit43cee32f, plus fixing two more issues: the code in configure.ac has to EXACTLY match virnetdevbridge.c with regards to declaring in6 types before using if_bridge.h, and the fact that RHEL 5 has even more conflicts: In file included from util/virnetdevbridge.c:49: /usr/include/linux/in6.h:47: error: conflicting types for 'in6addr_any' /usr/include/netinet/in.h:206: error: previous declaration of 'in6addr_any' was here /usr/include/linux/in6.h:49: error: conflicting types for 'in6addr_loopback' /usr/include/netinet/in.h:207: error: previous declaration of 'in6addr_loopback' was here The rest of this commit message borrows from the original try of2df8d99: A fresh checkout on a RHEL 6 machine with these packages: kernel-headers-2.6.32-405.el6.x86_64 glibc-2.12-1.128.el6.x86_64 failed to configure with this message: checking for linux/if_bridge.h... no configure: error: You must install kernel-headers in order to compile libvirt with QEMU or LXC support Digging in config.log, we see that the problem is identical to what we fixed earlier in commitd12c2811: configure:98831: checking for linux/if_bridge.h configure:98853: gcc -std=gnu99 -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 In file included from /usr/include/linux/if_bridge.h:17, from conftest.c:559: /usr/include/linux/in6.h:31: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr' /usr/include/linux/in6.h:48: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr_in6' /usr/include/linux/in6.h:56: error: redefinition of 'struct ipv6_mreq' configure:98860: $? = 1 I had not hit it earlier because I was using incremental builds, where config.cache had shielded me from the kernel-headers breakage. * configure.ac (if_bridge.h): Avoid conflicting type definitions. * src/util/virnetdevbridge.c (includes): Also sanitize for RHEL 5.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
