[libvirt-users] how to install libvirt-python
Hi, I have successfully installed libvirt-.0.10.0 from source ./configure make make install How can I check that if libvirt-python is installed? Search the folders, it seems there is no such file [root@tiger ~]# find /usr/ -name libvirt-python [root@tiger ~]# find . -name libvirt-python [root@tiger ~]# Regards, Mahmood

That's because installing libvirt-python doesn't create any directory or file named exactly libvirt-python. For an example of what DOES get installed: # rpm -ql libvirt-python /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.pyc /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.pyo /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_lxc.py /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_lxc.pyc /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_lxc.pyo /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_qemu.py /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_qemu.pyc /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_qemu.pyo /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirtmod.so /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirtmod_lxc.so /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirtmod_qemu.so /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1 /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/events-python /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/events-python/event-test.py /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/Makefile.am /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/README /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/consolecallback.py /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/dominfo.py /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/domrestore.py /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/domsave.py /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/domstart.py /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/esxlist.py /usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/topology.py Also, you can do: $ python

OK. I am trying to install virt-manager from source but found it difficult! So I decided to install from repo. # yum install virt-manager libvirt Dependencies Resolved ======================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ======================================================================================================================== Installing: virt-manager x86_64 0.9.0-14.el6 sl 1.0 M Installing for dependencies: libvirt-client x86_64 0.10.2-18.el6_4.14 sl-security 4.0 M libvirt-python x86_64 0.10.2-18.el6_4.14 sl-security 464 k python-virtinst noarch 0.600.0-8.el6 sl 487 k Transaction Summary ======================================================================================================================== Install 4 Package(s) Total download size: 5.9 M And I installed all of them. However when I start virt-manager, I get this error Error polling connection 'qemu:///system': internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 440, in _tick conn.tick() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1422, in tick newNets, self.nets) = self._update_nets() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1285, in _update_nets lookup_func, build_class) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1217, in _poll_helper if not check_support(): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 509, in is_network_capable virtinst.support.SUPPORT_CONN_NETWORK) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/support.py", line 574, in check_conn_support return _check_support(conn, feature, conn) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/support.py", line 443, in _check_support actual_drv_ver = _hv_ver(conn, uri) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/support.py", line 376, in _hv_ver ret = cmd(*args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3385, in getVersion if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virConnectGetVersion() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64 However I have installed Qemu from source.

Oh right, RHEL 6 uses the older scheme with fewer packages. And it appears that you are using a downstream fork of RHEL, given your previous mail:
Installing for dependencies: libvirt-client x86_64 0.10.2-18.el6_4.14 sl-security 4.0 M
If you were using RHEL, I'd suggest opening a support ticket with Red Hat. But as you are using a downstream fork, I'm not sure what else to suggest that you try.
libvirt.x86_64 : Library providing a simple virtualization API
This is the package that provided libvirt with qemu support in RHEL 6, and which got split into libvirt-daemon-* for Fedora. You may be missing the distro version of qemu (that is, your self-build qemu at /usr/local/bin/qemu-x86_64 is not the same as what RHEL ships, and since you are using the RHEL libvirt, it may not know to look for a self-built alternative).

Excuse me, but it seems that there is not way to uninstall the qemu which has been built from source. There is no target for uninstall. Is it enough to run "rm -rf /usr/local/bin/qemu*" or there are some other config staffs in other system directories? Regards, Mahmood

Unfortunately, that's probably a question better asked on the qemu list, as libvirt doesn't control how qemu gets installed. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
