Is this something that can be > configured? I don't see that option in the man pages of virt-install. You seem to have explicitly started 'libvirtd' service. If that is the case the error message above is actually a bit cryptic, but in fact means that the 'qemu' driver was not compiled. This is because by default it's marked as optional and compiled only if you have all dependencies installed. You need to pass '-Ddriver_qemu=enabled' to the meson configure step to force-enable it. Meson will report what's missing.
