[libvirt-users] Error connecting to hypervisor

Hi, I have compiled and installed libvirt from git checkout and started libvirtd service. The version is 5.3.0 and I have done system-wide installation. When I do a `virsh list`, I get the following error: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: Unable to encode message header Similarly, the libvirtd instance shows the following error: 2019-04-23 21:36:57.777+0000: 1807: info : libvirt version: 5.3.0 2019-04-23 21:36:57.777+0000: 1807: info : hostname: dell 2019-04-23 21:36:57.777+0000: 1807: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1803 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error Furthermore, virnetmessagetest show the following error: $ VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 ./virnetmessagetest TEST: virnetmessagetest 1) Message Header Encode ... libvirt: XML-RPC error : Unable to encode message header FAILED 2) Message Header Decode ... libvirt: XML-RPC error : Unable to decode message length FAILED 3) Message Payload Encode ... libvirt: XML-RPC error : Unable to encode message header FAILED 4) Message Payload Decode ... libvirt: XML-RPC error : Unable to decode message length FAILED 5) Message Payload Stream Encode ... libvirt: XML-RPC error : Unable to encode message header FAILED I am also compiling qemu from source and the virsh commands ran fine when I was using libvirt 4.7.0 from Fedora repository. Any ideas how I can solve this issue? Thanks, Sukrit
