Hi All,
For some testing purpose I've changed some content in

Huh? Why are you building 0.9.10 instead of the latest 1.1.3?
machine and restart the libvirtd daemon, but the changes I made in
test_driver.c is nothing reflected. I'm not sure whether I'm missing
something. Is it moving only the "libvirt.so.0.9.10.so" is enough or I need
to move some .a files ? , but I'm not seeing any ".a" in the kvm host
related to libvirt to replace. Please provide me sufficient info to proceed
further.
What configure options did you use when you built libvirt? Manually
copying single files onto a target machine is almost always wrong; much
better is to 'make install' (perhaps with an appropriate
DESTDIR=/staging setting), then place that entire installed tree into
place on the destination. If you are using a Fedora-based distro, 'make
rpm' will even turn your self-built binary into an rpm that you can
install using your package manager, for much easier control over getting
everything right.
