Surely, the location of executable components should not be hard-coded in the source tree. I could live with it, grudgingly, if it was set at configure time.

Agreed -- this is simply a bug in virt-manager.

There are a few other places the virt* programs have fixed ideas about where stuff must be: [summer@potoroo virt]$ find * -type f -exec grep -HE '/usr/(|s)bin' {} \; | grep -Ev '/usr/bin/(perl|python)'

By and large these are not bugs. It would only be a bug if an installed program contains a hard-coded path, and the path is not discovered by (eg) ./configure, and there is no way around the hard-coded path at runtime, and the user could conceivably want to use a different binary.

Rich.

Thanks Rich.
I am unfamiliar with the tools I need to put that statement to the test. INSTALL says to run ./configure, but there is no ./configure to run.

The website does say how to get the source with hg, and how to submit changes, but I can't see how to go from the checkout to building and installing.

Where is the documentation?

I do want to use alternative binaries (but then again I don't), but I do not wish to replace any standard part of F8.
