From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; When running directly from GIT, libvirtd attempts to locate the directory containing loadable modules.

Switch to locate based on the path to the current binary instead --- daemon/libvirtd.c | 24 +++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/libvirtd.c b/daemon/libvirtd.c index b5c0102..a7bb9dd 100644 --- a/daemon/libvirtd.c +++ b/daemon/libvirtd.c @@ -972,9 +972,27 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) { virLogSetFromEnv(); #ifdef WITH_DRIVER_MODULES - if (strstr(argv[0], "lt-libvirtd") && - (access("./.git", R_OK) >= 0 || access("../.git", R_OK) >= 0)) - virDriverModuleInitialize("./src/.libs"); + if (strstr(argv[0], "lt-libvirtd")) { + char *tmp = strrchr(argv[0], '/'); + if (!tmp) { + fprintf(stderr, _("%s: cannot identify driver directory\n"), argv[0]); + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + } + *tmp = '\0'; + char *driverdir; + if (virAsprintf(&driverdir, "%s/../../src/.libs", argv[0]) < 0) { + fprintf(stderr, _("%s: initialization failed\n"), argv[0]); + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + } + if (access(driverdir, R_OK) < 0) { + fprintf(stderr, _("%s: expected driver directory '%s' is missing\n"), + argv[0], driverdir); + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + } + virDriverModuleInitialize(driverdir); + *tmp = '/'; + /* Must not free 'driverdir' - it is still used */ + } #endif while (1) { -- 1.7.10.4
