[virt-tools-list] VirtInstall - error validating install location / global name 'virGetLastError' is not defined

[Bogdan Rădulescu]

Hello,

I am trying to run virt-install on a Slackware based distro and I get
errors when running with both --nodisk and with --disk
Obviously the /root/NimbleX-64-test.iso file is there but for some reason
virt-install doesn't want to accept that.

When running with --nodisk I get this error:

nimblex:~# virt-install --name test --ram 512 --nodisks --cdrom

Hope you have some tips for me.
