At the moment (still learning things), this works for me:

   $ ./configure --prefix=/
   $ make

I don't (!) do "make install" afterwards though, as that would likely 
install over the top of system provided things.

It does let me connect to the libvirtd daemon using the newly compiled 
virsh (shell utility) though:

   $ sudo tools/virsh

Hope that helps. :)

Regards and best wishes,
