Whit,

I was able to get around the library problem by simply uninstalling the xsltproc distribution package. The docs are not made but the installation finishes. (Let me know if you think this is a bad idea or if it will mess up the running of libvirt somehow)

I tried your suggestion and I can run the libvirt daemon from the location you suggested. However, when I cannot seem to connect to the libvirt-sock socket or the qemu hypervisor. When I run the command "sudo virsh -c qemu:///system list" I get the follow error messages:

error: Failed to connect socket to '/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

Any ideas how to get this working. I've been running into this problem for several combinations of installs except for when I use the distro packages for both qemu-kvm and libvirt.

Thanks,
Shawn

What works for me (Ubuntu 10.10):

Stop the old version.

Start the new one with:

/usr/local/sbin/libvirtd -d

That's assuming that you did a "make install" and let it go to the default
location, which that is. Now, if it's all default (both the original and
your builds), then replace /usr/local/etc/libvirt/qemu with a symlink to
/etc/libvirt/qemu before starting.

Also, if you've built qemu-kvm to replace the distro version, then
/usr/bin/kvm should be a symlink to /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 rather
than the distro's /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64.

There's also another daemon or two that you may or may not need running
according to how you're handling the VM interfaces. Since I'm bridging them,
I haven't concerned myself with that.

In recent versions Ubuntu has omitted a proper /etc/init.d script in favor
of upstart (which I hate; YMMV). There's still a decent init.d script for
libvirt in Debian, which can be edited to work with a built-from-source
version. Of course, Ubuntu will replace that whenever you do updates, if it
still thinks that libvirt is something it should update.

BTW, what did you do to get around the library problem?
