<br></div><div>which <b>worked</b>, but it's not very clean and effective solution, especially if you have <b>ruby-libvirt</b> as a requirement in your Gemfile and you need to install it via Bundler.</div><div><br></div>
<div>I reckon that a possible solution would be to change Homebrew formula, so that it either installs or symlinks both dirs into locations where <b>ruby-libvirt</b> will look for it, but <b><u>what's the default location actually</u></b>?</div>
