Hi,

I'm wondering how, when libvirt is installed from sources, to also install the 'development' files?

I installed libvirt-0.8.8 with no problems and 'virsh' works OK. However, when I try to install, for instance libvirt-ruby, it asks me for libvirt development files.

What extra step is required?

Thanks,

When you compile from source then the development files (header and pkg-config files) have been installed by "make install" too. Maybe you configured libvirt with custom prefix and the ruby-libvirt build can't find them because of this. I just tested it with the default prefix (/usr/local) for libvirt and it works for me.
