[Libvir] error : could not connect to xen:///; error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

[Felix Krohn]

I can't find the reason for the following error:

# virsh
libvir: error : could not connect to xen:///
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
# virsh -c ///var/lib/xend/xend-socket
libvir: error : could not connect to ///var/lib/xend/xend-socket
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

# lsof|grep xend-socket
python     3655  root   18u     unix 0xffff88001edce340 11774 /var/lib/xend/xend-socket

system:
	Debian etch on amd64
	Xen version 3.2.0 (compiled from sources)
	Linux 2.6.21 (patched Sources from redhat git)
	libvirtd and xend are running, `xm list` etc works fine

# virsh -v
0.4.0
(installed from etch-backports)

Output from `strace -s 1024 -f virsh list --all` is here:
http://krohnjob.de/files/virsh.strace
Can't see the reason for the above mentioned error in there...

Kind regards,
Felix Krohn
