[libvirt-users] Libvirt Seg Fault when compiling either 0.9.13 or 0.10.0-rc1

[Shawn Furrow]

Whit,

I was able to get around the library problem by simply uninstalling the
xsltproc distribution package. The docs are not made but the installation
finishes. (Let me know if you think this is a bad idea or if it will mess
up the running of libvirt somehow)

I tried your suggestion and I can run the libvirt daemon from the location
you suggested. However, when I cannot seem to connect to the libvirt-sock
socket or the qemu hypervisor. When I run the command "sudo virsh -c
qemu:///system list" I get the follow error messages:

error: Failed to connect socket to
'/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

Any ideas how to get this working. I've been running into this problem for
several combinations of installs except for when I use the distro packages
for both qemu-kvm and libvirt.

Thanks,
Shawn
