[libvirt] Run libvirtd from git: virsh hangs

Hi, I managed to compile libvirt from the git repo, now i have some trouble to run it. This is what i did: I configured the source to use /var because i wanted the socket to be at the same place as the system one (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock) ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --localstatedir=/var make make install at this point i stopped my system libvirtd and virtlogd sudo systemctl stop libvirtd sudo systemctl stop virtlogd And then i launched my custom libvirtd and virtlogd cd $HOME/usr/sbin sudo ./libvirtd -v sudo ./virtlogd -v After that i tried to list the available domains with virsh (using the system binary) sudo virsh virsh # list --all And this call hangs forever. There is no more output in libvirtd stdout/stderr, even if i set log_level to 1. Did i miss anything in the configuration ? Thanks guys ! -- Mathieu Tarral
