Running from outside the virtinst directory: lamps@ubunteira:/opt/virtinst-0.500.5$ cd / lamps@ubunteira:/$ python -c 'import virtinst; print virtinst' <module 'virtinst' from '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virtinst/__init__.pyc'> Running python setup.py install --prefix=/usr and trying to launch virt-manager resulted in the same error message, but using "PYTHONPATH=..." to launch virt-manager works! Thanks! It will be necessary to change this path everytime I run virt-manager? Is it possible to make some sort of workaround? =] <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 4:12 PM, Cole Robinson <<a href="mailto:crobinso@redhat.com">crobinso@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div></div><div class="h5">On 02/15/2011 01:59 PM, Bruno Lamps wrote: > Hi, > > There's a thread with this same title, in this list, from august 2010.

You can either run virt-manager like 'PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages virt-manager', or reinstall python-virtinst with python setup.py install --prefix=/usr - Cole </blockquote></div>
