Re: [libvirt-users] Virsh+QEMU, SSH issue on compiled libvirt

With these options, it fails to install as below /bin/mkdir -p '/ws/sarvi-sjc/skunkworks/bspace/usrcisco/libexec' /bin/mkdir -p '/ws/sarvi-sjc/skunkworks/bspace/usrcisco/share/augeas/lenses' /bin/mkdir -p '/ws/sarvi-sjc/skunkworks/bspace/usrcisco/share/augeas/lenses/tests' /bin/mkdir -p '/etc/libvirt' /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/libvirt': Permission denied make-3.79.1-p7[3]: *** [install-confDATA] Error 1 make-3.79.1-p7[3]: Leaving directory `/ws/sarvi-sjc/skunkworks/bspace/libvirt-1.0.3/src' make-3.79.1-p7[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make-3.79.1-p7[2]: Leaving directory `/ws/sarvi-sjc/skunkworks/bspace/libvirt-1.0.3/src' make-3.79.1-p7[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make-3.79.1-p7[1]: Leaving directory `/ws/sarvi-sjc/skunkworks/bspace/libvirt-1.0.3/src' make-3.79.1-p7: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 Just changing # define LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET LOCALSTATEDIR "/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock" # define LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET_RO LOCALSTATEDIR "/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro" To # define LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET "/var" "/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock" # define LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET_RO "/var" "/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro" Fixed the problem and things worked fine. It would be nice for a client only builds to be able to control through a ./configure argument or through some other .conf file where the server expects to find its socket file. That said, I am wondering why the client has to know where the server maintains its libvirt-sock files? Can't client and the server both talk in relative path terms instead of absolute?
