Hi Lucas,

It *sounds* like this might be a simple one to solve (hopefully). :)

If you take a look in the $HOME/usr/bin/ directory, is there a "virsh" command there?

If so, then it just means you're missing this directory from the PATH statement, so virsh isn't being found.

If it's not there, something didn't go right with the "make install" step.  Might be a permissions problem.

(Of the two, it sounds more like it's the first one, a PATH problem.)

Does that help?

Regards and best wishes,
