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.

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). -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
