<div dir="ltr">Hello I don't know if ruby-libvirt can work in a debian-based environment. I installed kvm, libvirt, RoR, etc on Ubuntu and it all works fine. I pasted the output when installing the gem below. I think the problem could be that libvirt is called differently in Ubuntu or stored on a different location. Is there a way to get around?
