Hi,

i'm trying to test the lxc support in libvirt, but but libvirt failed to 
start container with error "lxcContainerAvailable:897 : clone call 
returned Operation not permitted, container support is not enabled"

Althought i've compiled libvirt with th lxc support:
configure: Configuration summary
configure: =====================
configure:
configure: Drivers
configure:
configure:      Xen: no
configure:    Proxy: no
configure:     QEMU: yes
configure:      UML: yes

configure:   Remote: yes
configure:  Network: yes
configure: Libvirtd: yes
configure:    netcf: no
configure:  macvtap: yes
configure: virtport: no

Here is my xml:
<domain type='lxc'>
   <name>lxc1</name>
   <memory>500000</memory>
   <os>
     <type>exe</type>
     <init>/bin/sh</init>
   </os>
   <vcpu>1</vcpu>
   <clock offset='utc'/>
   <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
   <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
   <on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
   <devices>
     <emulator>/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_lxc</emulator>
     <filesystem type='mount'>
       <source dir='/var/lib/lxc/lxc1/rootfs'/>
       <target dir='/'/>
     </filesystem>
     <interface type='bridge'>
       <source bridge='U13'/>
       <target dev='veth0'/>
     </interface>
     <console type='pty' >
	<target port='5'/>
     </console>
   </devices>
</domain>

And here are the errors:
