Good morning there,
I compiled and installed libvirt latest version 1.2.6, previously I have apt-get install libvirt-bin, which should be virsh --version: 0.9.8. after apt-get purge libvirt-bin, I compile the libvirt 1.2.6 and installed it, when configure, I did:
./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-esx=yes
I have compiled qemu and installed too, and make a symbolic link to /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
but my question is even I launch a vm in qemu, $virsh list showed nothing, further more,
1) if I use virtual machine manager, it get connection failiure, due to socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock'; No such file of dirctory.
2). there is missing libvirt-bin under /etc/init.d/, after compile and installed libvirt 1.2.6
