[libvirt-users] Error on running libvirt (dnsmasq)

[John Wayne]

Hi,

I am running libvirt on RHEL 6.2 and getting this below error when I start the daemon:

/usr/sbin/libvirtd --verbose

Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.'.

I compiled libvirt from the source, do I really need dnsmasq? 

Thanks
