Re: [libvirt-users] Virsh+QEMU, SSH issue on compiled libvirt
Thanks Daniel.
Is there a way around this.
We want the virtualization hosts to have standard Fedora libvirt RPMs
installed and running.
We are eventually trying to compile a subset of libvirt client tools
only(the virsh client, python, libvirt and remote-drivers to run on
various other developer systems ranging from RHEL 4/5/6 to allow them to
be able to connect to the virtualization hosts. These compiled client
tools will need to go into a --prefix=/usr/nonstddir/ which will be NFS
mounted by all developer machines.
I guess one alternative is to custom compile what runs on the
virtualization servers too and have them all be built with
--prefix=/user/nonstddir.
But I am wondering if there is a way to avoid this.
Thanks for your help,
Sarvi

This is your problem. By specifying a different prefix, your new
libvirt client is going to be looking for the libvirtd socket
in /users/sarvi/nonstddir/var/lib/libvirt/libvirt-sock instead
of in /var/lib/libvirt/libvirt-sock
The --prefix you use to compile your libvirt must match the settings
used for the target libvirt you are connecting to.
