Merely running 'make install' does NOT register libvirtd as a system
service.  For that, you need additional steps, such as those encoded in
libvirt.spec.in:

%if %{with_systemd}
%if %{with_systemd_macros}
%systemd_post libvirtd.service
%else
if [ $1 -eq 1 ] ; then
    # Initial installation
    /bin/systemctl enable virtlockd.socket >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
    /bin/systemctl enable libvirtd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
fi
%endif
%else
%if %{with_cgconfig}
# Starting with Fedora 16/RHEL-7, systemd automounts all cgroups,
# and cgconfig is no longer a necessary service.
%if (0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} < 7) || (0%{?fedora} && 0%{?fedora} < 16)
if [ "$1" -eq "1" ]; then
/sbin/chkconfig cgconfig on
fi
%endif
%endif

/sbin/chkconfig --add libvirtd
if [ "$1" -ge "1" ]; then
    /sbin/service libvirtd condrestart > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
%endif

That is why we suggest that you install the pre-built libvirt from your
distro, before then trying to self-install, if you want to take
advantage of all the work your distro has done in hooking up libvirtd
into your system's normal scheme of services.
