For that, you need additional steps, such as those encoded in libvirt.spec.in: %if %{with_systemd} %if %{with_systemd_macros} %systemd_post libvirtd.service %else if [ $1 -eq 1 ] ; then # Initial installation /bin/systemctl enable virtlockd.socket >/dev/null 2>&1 || : /bin/systemctl enable libvirtd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || : fi %endif %else %if %{with_cgconfig} # Starting with Fedora 16/RHEL-7, systemd automounts all cgroups, # and cgconfig is no longer a necessary service. %if (0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} < 7) || (0%{?fedora} && 0%{?fedora} < 16) if [ "$1" -eq "1" ]; then /sbin/chkconfig cgconfig on fi %endif %endif /sbin/chkconfig --add libvirtd if [ "$1" -ge "1" ]; then /sbin/service libvirtd condrestart > /dev/null 2>&1 fi %endif That is why we suggest that you install the pre-built libvirt from your distro, before then trying to self-install, if you want to take advantage of all the work your distro has done in hooking up libvirtd into your system's normal scheme of services. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
