Did you mean 'sudo make install' here?

Which guide?  Having a URL to the guide you were following will help us
know whether we can improve that guide to make it easier to use.

It may be easier to use a pre-built version from your distro, as that
will eliminate the possibility of user error in building your package
until you are more familiar with using libvirt.  Beyond that, you didn't
give us much to go on - it is not obvious whether libvirtd is running,
or whether you ran 'virsh' as root or as a normal user, or even what is
in the log files, so it could be a number of problems.
