Hi, I installed libvirt (cvs version), and can confirm that libvirtd is running. However, virsh failed to work. I got the below message when running virsh with debugging information. How to fix this problem?

Are you using the version of virsh that matches the libvirtd daemon you compiled ? If you have a pre-built virsh from your distro installed, and then do a CVS build with a different '--prefix' to configure that could explain this.
