Trying to build the hellolibvirt example. I get the project to compile okay but when I try to run it I get:
Unable to connect to '/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libivrt-sock
Given libvirt --status says it's in /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock that makes sense. How do I make the git version run with my local copy?
./hellolibvirt \ qemu+unix:///system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock will let you connect to the packaged daemon.
At the moment (still learning things), this works for me:
$ ./configure --prefix=/ $ make
I don't (!) do "make install" afterwards though, as that would likely install over the top of system provided things.
Indeed it will overwrite things. If I'm building from source on a machine that has packaged libvirt installed, I just use a prefix like --prefix=/root/gitlibvirt/install Then you can run a second copy of libvirtd if you decide you want to. Dave
