Hi Jun,
The log is very clear, you need a virtual network 'default' for libvirt default bridge virbr0,
it should be your complication issue, the default case is 'virsh' locates in /usr/bin/virsh,
and 'libvirtd' locates in /usr/sbin/libvirtd, if your 'virsh' and 'libvirtd' are put other
location, I guess you haven't used --prefix=/usr when run ./configure, or you also haven't
directly used ./autogen.sh --system, if so, your 'default' virtual network probably doesn't work.
so at first, you should make sure virtual network 'default' works well, you may check it by
ifconfig and virsh net-list, for example:
# ifconfig virbr0
virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:38:FF:C4
inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

# virsh net-list

-----------------------------------------
default active yes
# virsh net-dumpxml default
<network>
<name>default</name>
<uuid>40447e3e-4b09-44db-bc70-decef1189044</uuid>
<forward mode='nat'/>
<bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0' />
<mac address='52:54:00:38:FF:C4'/>
<ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
<dhcp>
<range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254' />
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
At present, you may try to manually define and active 'default' virtual network,
and paste the above xml into /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml then
virsh net-define /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml and virsh net-create default,
if everything is okay you will see a active default network by virsh net-list, and
you also see a network bridge named 'virbr0' on host by ifconfig.
Finally, if virtual work works well, then you may try previous operations.
Good Luck!
Alex

ok, i change the command a bit, and it went further.
here is how i did:
(1) compiled everything from source, then install (make install) to my Ubuntu
(2) start libvirtd on commandline
# libvirtd -d
(3) import my KVM image to libvirt
$ virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n winxp -r 800 --accelerate
--vnc -v --noautoconsole --import -f /home/jun/img/img.winxp
it failed, and the log is like below:

i guess perhaps just starting "libvirtd -d" on commandline is not
enough. do i need a script to configure and start libvirtd properly
for me?
and it seems i must configure the virtual network somehow?
currently, the output of brtctl is like below:
$ brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
pan0 8000.000000000000 no
thanks,
Jun
