It may be easier to use a pre-built version from your distro, as that will eliminate the possibility of user error in building your package until you are more familiar with using libvirt. Beyond that, you didn't give us much to go on - it is not obvious whether libvirtd is running, or whether you ran 'virsh' as root or as a normal user, or even what is in the log files, so it could be a number of problems.
