ok, i change the command a bit, and it went further.
here is how i did:
(1) compiled everything from source, then install (make install) to my Ubuntu
(2) start libvirtd on commandline
# libvirtd -d
(3) import my KVM image to libvirt
$ virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n winxp -r 800 --accelerate
--vnc -v --noautoconsole --import -f /home/jun/img/img.winxp
it failed, and the log is like below:
....

A very common cause of this problem is that a systemwide instance of
dnsmasq is already (erroneously) listening on the bridge created by
libvirt for the default network. I took your email as an oppurtunity to
write an entry in the new Troubleshooting section of the libvirt wiki.
It will explain to you how to solve your problem (*if* this is your
problem, of course :-).
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtual_network_%27default%27_has_not_been_s...
If that ends up not being your problem, please reply to this message,
but sending the reply to libvirt-users(a)redhat.com (I also Cc'ed this
message there) rather than to libvir-list(a)redhat.com. (The former is the
official list for user questions about libvirt, whil libvir-list is
intended for for people discussing the code.)
i guess perhaps just starting "libvirtd -d" on commandline
is not
enough. do i need a script to configure and start libvirtd properly
for me?
and it seems i must configure the virtual network somehow?
The "default" network should already be there as part of the stock install.
