Install libvirt with xenserver api support

I want to have a try to install libvirt on my ubuntu PC to manage a remote xenserver, but there's some problem blocks me.. I download the libvirt source package . when in this step : 

./configure --with-esx --with-xenapi --prefix=/opt/libvirt

checking for xen_vm_start in -lxenserver... no configure: error: You must install the XenServer Library to compile XenAPI driver with -lxenserver

I get this error, I found that XenAPI driver is "libxenserver", I get it from this site: http://community.citrix.com/display/xs/Download+SDKs

but how should I do with the libxenserver? is there someone who has successfully installed the libvirt with xenserver support?

I have it working. You just need to put libxenserver.so.1.3 in /usr/lib/

Then make symbolic links to libxenserver.so.1 and libxenserver.so

After that if you're still having trouble do a ldconfig.

FYI I'm doing this is Fedora 16.
