&gt; Hi everyone:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I am just a new user to libvirt. I installed libvirt as:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; ./configure<br>
&gt; make<br>
&gt; sudo make<br>
<br>
</div>Did you mean &#39;sudo make install&#39; here?<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; After that I run the program in the development guide.<br>
<br>
</div>Which guide?  Having a URL to the guide you were following will help us<br>
know whether we can improve that guide to make it easier to use.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; But it seems that<br>
&gt; the program is stuck in the function of virConnectOpenReadOnly. When I<br>
&gt; tried the command: virsh list --all, it is also stuck. So could anyone tell<br>
&gt; me what&#39;s wrong with this?<br>
<br>
</div>It may be easier to use a pre-built version from your distro, as that<br>
will eliminate the possibility of user error in building your package<br>
until you are more familiar with using libvirt.  Beyond that, you didn&#39;t<br>
give us much to go on - it is not obvious whether libvirtd is running,<br>
or whether you ran &#39;virsh&#39; as root or as a normal user, or even what is<br>
in the log files, so it could be a number of problems.<br>
