Hi, Sorry, I will keep the instructions in mind. I tried ./autogen.sh with --system but there was a version mismatch. I guess someone should write a patch for debian based system. I tried to install libvirt 1.1.1 with Fedora and when I did make, I got the following error: Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory `/home/peeyush/Downloads/libvirt-1.1.1/src' GEN libvirt_access_lxc.syms /bin/sh: -w: command not found make[2]: *** [libvirt_access_lxc.syms] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/peeyush/Downloads/libvirt-1.1.1/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/peeyush/Downloads/libvirt-1.1.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 Any idea why am I getting this?

I am trying to install new libvirt version on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Now I downloaded libvirt 1.0.5 from libvirt.org/sources then I issued three commands:
Any reason you went with 1.0.5 instead of the just-released 1.1.1?
./autogen.sh
This installs the libvirt on my system. But there are some issues, I have to run libvirtd explicitly everytime
This defaults into installing things into /usr/local, which does not match the paths your distro normally uses. Your problems may stem from the fact that because you didn't install it into distro locations, your distro is unable to run libvirtd as a service. If you run './autogen.sh --system', that helps prepopulate the configure options such as --bindir that are more likely to match your distro layout (I know for sure that ./autogen.sh --system matches Fedora layout, but don't know if Debian-based layout differs, although no one has written a patch complaining otherwise). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
