I figured it out. The apt-get virtinst was downloading the old libvirt-bin which was fouling everything up. I am going to try and build the virtinst from source. I will let you guys know if that works. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Blake [mailto:eblake@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 9:18 AM To: Shawn Davis Cc: 'Alex Jia'; libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: qemu-monitor-command On 03/24/2012 10:15 AM, Shawn Davis wrote: > > > Sorry for the noob question but how do I configure and build qemu-kvm > and libvirt so that they are all installed in the correct places?

If you build from libvirt.git and are on a Fedora-based system, then using ./autogen.sh --system will set up the preferred arguments to configure (these include --prefix=/usr --libdir=$prefix/$lib --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var, where $lib is either lib or lib64). I'm not quite sure what default directories a debian-based install prefers; patches are welcome to ./autogen.sh to account for any differences to match debian-preferred layout. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
