Try installing the package "libnl-devel" ("yum install

might be in some "optional" repo), as that will give you a netcf that's
compatible with libvirt as built on CentOS 6.3 (forgive my inability to
speak with certainty about CentOS; all of my info is based on RHEL and
Fedora).
Thanks for the background here, it works now with libnl installed.
It looks like at first, with no libnl installed, configure produced
the error "Package requirements (libnl-2.0) were not met." I then
installed libnl2-dev and got "libnl-2.x is unsupported, please install
libnl-3.x." This led me to believe that libnl 1 wasn't usable.
Another good platform for netcf (and libvirt) testing is Fedora. A
large
number of libvirt developers (including me) use Fedora as their main dev
box, and netcf was originally developed on Fedora. The current release
of Fedora (17) is reasonably stable (note that if you don't like the
gnome shell, there are alternatives as close as a "yum install" away :-)
Thanks - my goal here is to test that our changes don't have a
negative impact on the existing platforms. I want to use a platform
that's already common rather than venturing into new territory so I'll
go with a Fedora VM for this.
