Older libvirt had a bug where it wouldn't parse qemu 1.0 version (the change from 3 digits to 2 confused the older libvirt). If you're going to go with self-built qemu, you might also want to try self-built libvirt 0.9.10.

I installed libvirt 0.9.10 from source and now virsh is not finding the following:
testa@testaT4:~$ virsh list virsh: /usr/lib/libvirt-qemu.so.0: version `LIBVIRT_QEMU_0.9.4' not found (required by virsh)
Ouch - you've now got version mismatch, where you didn't completely uninstall the distro version, and your self-built version is installed in locations that pick up the distro version. Did you use the right configure flags?
I can't install qemu 1.0 and libvirt 0.9.10 through apt right?
Ah, apt - are you on debian or ubuntu? I don't know as much about the versions that those distros are using (I'm personally using Fedora 16, along with the fedora-virt-preview repo, which gives 0.9.10 pre-built).
I assume I had to get them from source. Anyways, please let me know how I can get virsh to see that I have 0.9.10. Once I get this working and can run that monitor command I will be in good shape.
There might be someone already shipping a pre-built 0.9.10 apt, but I wouldn't know where to tell you to look, so building from source is the other alternative. If you build from libvirt.git, you can use './autobuild.sh --system' to help set the ./configure options that match with the typical installation directories for at least Fedora, but again, I don't know how that fares with the debian installation layout (and patches are welcome to autobuild.sh for anyone that wants to use it on a debian layout).

Yeah, I am using Ubuntu 11.10. I was able to uninstall the old libvirt and virsh works again but still getting this when trying to start the vm: testa@testaT4:~$ virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- testa@testaT4:~$ virsh version Compiled against library: libvir 0.9.10 Using library: libvir 0.9.10 Using API: QEMU 0.9.10 error: failed to get the hypervisor version error: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64 testa@testaT4:~$ virsh -c qemu:///system start Shawn error: Failed to connect socket to '/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor testa@testaT4:~$ Thanks again for helping me out!
