Re: [libvirt-users] qemu-monitor-command
I figured it out. The apt-get virtinst was downloading the old libvirt-bin
which was fouling everything up. I am going to try and build the virtinst
from source.
I will let you guys know if that works.

Sorry for the noob question but how do I configure and build qemu-kvm

there a specific flag I need to use or do I need to install them from
a specific directory? It looks like the files and being put all over
the place. Some are in /etc and some are in /usr/local/etc. If I can
get everything to install in the correct spots I should be good I would
hope.
What arguments are you passing to ./configure? If you build from
libvirt.git and are on a Fedora-based system, then using ./autogen.sh
--system will set up the preferred arguments to configure (these include
--prefix=/usr --libdir=$prefix/$lib --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var,
where $lib is either lib or lib64).
I'm not quite sure what default directories a debian-based install prefers;
patches are welcome to ./autogen.sh to account for any differences to match
debian-preferred layout.
