Question:
I was stuck with an error “Error: libpci check failed. Disable KVM Device Assignment capability” while compiling qemu-kvm package on Ubuntu machine. Below is the complete error message.
[qemu-kvm] $ ./configure Error: libpci header check failed Disable KVM Device Assignment capability.
How to solve this error.
Solution:
The error says that the pci library is missing. So you need to install pciutils-devel or libpci-dev package as shown below:
$ sudo apt-get install libpci-dev ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Setting up libudev-dev:amd64 (229-4ubuntu7) ... Setting up libpci-dev (1:3.3.1-1.1ubuntu1) ... Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.122ubuntu8) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-36-generic W: mdadm: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays.
That’s it! It should work now.
