Little bit of surfing over internet revelaed that virt-install will have to be given --connect option. Okay no problem.
And yeah I found the rpm for kvm and qemu which when I install give me /usr/bin/qemu-kvm and other required stuff. Now I have this question. Why don't I get qemu-kvm built when I compile from source code? I am getting by installing the rpm.
Okay back to virt-manager. Now virt-manager didn't reported of not finding /usr/bin/qemu-kvm but failed at another error stating about the network device.
Unable to complete install 'libvirt.libvirtError virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error Network 'default' not active

I found that I have virbr0 active during that time.

And I also found it as saying <name>default</name> in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml. Then why isn't virt-manager getting it? Or is there something else to tell?
One more thing during virt-manager network select step I was not getting showed any Shared physical device. How I can create it? I have to manually create a device and bridge it to my real ethernet device?
Please answer my doughts.

Hello guys,
I have installed kvm-20 from source code. Loaded the kvm module and started the said libvirtd service. Now when I try to use virt-manager to create a new virtual machine it ends up saying no /usr/bin/qemu-kvm found.
Now I found that I don't have this file. At the irc I was told to use kvm-19-1.src.rpm from FC7 extras development SRPMS. I used that also. I compiled it too. It got compiled and installed successfully but that too didn't provided qemu-kvm. I found that in the source tree of kvm there is a directory qemu/ in which I have qemu-kvm.c and qemu-kvm.h which get's compiled to qemu-kvm.o and get's into qemu/i386-softmmu/qemu-kvm.o but it doesn't makes any qemu-kvm executable in /usr/bin.
Also I tried to use virt-install , first of all I would like to tell that it's not intelligent enough to guess which hypervisor to use if we don't pass --connect argument. Now when I use it with --connect=qemu:///system to create a new virtual machine I got the following error:
libvir: QEMU error : internal error Failed to add tap interface 'vnet%d' to bridge 'xenbr0' : No such device

Now it seems to follow a default xml file here. And it is trying to find xenbr0 which I don't have as I am not using a xen kernel so no xend running at the moment. It should use in that case eth0/eth1 right?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks
