25 I see this in "tmp":
26 *****
27 checking whether the C compiler works... no
28 configure: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/xen-tools-4.3.1-
29 r5/work/xen-4.3.1/tools':
30 configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
31 ******
32
33 Please fix your C-compiler. What does the following command return?
34 # gcc-config -L

55 Please use the " xl" command set. " xm" is deprecated.
56
57 Please also ensure you start the xen services:
58 # /etc/init.d/xencommons start
59 # /etc/init.d/xenstored start
60 # /etc/init.d/xenconsoled start
61
62 before trying the xl commands.

68 I will check those if the above didn't solve it.
