Since the addition of the lock manager framework in 6a943419c528fdd7 dlopen is always required, but the checks in configure wasn't changed to reflect that. This didn't show up directly because the VirtualBox driver linking dlopen in covered it. But disabling the VirtualBox driver makes the build fail due to missing dlopen. Change the dlopen check in configure to pick up dlopen when available. Reported by Ruben Kerkhof.
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.
