I could use APIs related the network, for example virConnectListNetworks. Where could I have gone wrong and what are the work-arounds to solve them?

This probably means that libvirtd and/or virsh is still using the old copy of
the library.  If you have a libvirt package installed, and then you built the
the CVS libvirt by hand, the CVS version probably got installed somewhere to
/usr/local/lib, which is in the search path after where libvirt is probably
installed to /usr/lib.  Try removing your libvirt package and doing a "make
install" in the CVS version; you should then have everything matching up.
