[harsh@harshbora libvirt]$ sudo virsh create ~/testVMs/my_vm.xml

It looks like the attempt to execute 'path/to/qemu-system-x86_64
-version' is failing, leaving an empty string instead of version output.
Could this be a SELinux issue preventing the execution of a file as
root that doesn't have proper labelling? Does an strace yield any hints?
[harsh@harshbora libvirt]$ virsh create ~/testVMs/my_vm.xml
Domain my_vm created from /home/harsh/testVMs/my_vm.xml
Particularly since the same file can be executed as non-root?
Anyone, help?

Interesting thought. Harsh, if you're not sure how to check, maybe do
a grep for "qemu" in /var/log/audit/audit.log and see if anything
interesting turns up?
