I assume your system libvirt is too old. The
virConnectRegisterCloseCallback() API was introduced in the 0.10.0
release. Upgrade and you should be able to compile again.

BTW, since you already have a libvirt sources, why not build them? I
mean, the examples won't contain any API from the future, so your
sources already define the Register API. You can build the sources by
running:

./autogen.sh --system && make

to install run:

sudo make install
