Hello I have manually compiled a customized qemu (1.4.0) which runs fine on its own (create VM etc) but I want to access this qemu through libvirt (virt-manager, virsh etc).

But the libvirt driver only looks into "/usr/bin" for qemu binaries, how can I tell libvirt to connect to my qemu which is placed at "/home/user/qemu" directory.

Libvirt only looks into precompiled locations (default to /usr/bin) if you fail to specify an explicit location; but you can force libvirt to use your version of qemu by specifying the <emulator> element under <devices> in your domain XML. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
