Hi,
I am new to Libvirt and Qemu.I have installed Libvirt 7.1.0 and
qemu-kvm 4.2.0.
I configured and built libvirt based on instructions from
https://libvirt.org/compiling.html <https://libvirt.org/compiling.html>.
But when i tried to create a VM using virsh it shows the following error:
# virsh create /home/abc.xml
error: Failed to create domain from /home/abc.xml
error: invalid argument: could not find capabilities for arch=x86_64
domaintype=kvm
When i check the hypervisor capabilities ,it doest show qemu in guest
domain type.
# virsh capabilities

This smells suspicious. Perhaps you did not pass proper prefix (meson
-Dsystem=true)?
Anyway, libvirt tries to find qemu-system-$arch in $PATH and falls back
to /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm if no binary was found. So I suspect that maybe
the directory you installed QEMU into is not in $PATH?
