Hello,

[xetex ML more apropriate for your problem than texlive one, so I CC to

I would suggest to update your TeX Live installation,

Like this one:
<example>
\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}

\begin{document}
Hello, World!
\end{document}
</example>

AFAIK, polyglossia package don't provide separate support for
'ancientgreek', it is provided with greek language:
\setotherlanguages[variant=ancient]{greek}
this is just a guest from sources, read the manual:
texdoc polyglossia

So fontspec didn't find font 'Linux Libertine O'.

Minimal example works here:
Archlinux x86_64, TeX Live 2011, up-to-date;
I don't have access (until Sat.) to x86 host with TeX Live to test.
