[libvirt-users] qemu-monitor-command

[Shawn Davis]

I figured it out.  The apt-get virtinst was downloading the old libvirt-bin
which was fouling everything up.  I am going to try and build the virtinst
from source.

I will let you guys know if that works.

What arguments are you passing to ./configure?  If you build from
libvirt.git and are on a Fedora-based system, then using ./autogen.sh
--system will set up the preferred arguments to configure (these include
--prefix=/usr --libdir=$prefix/$lib --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var,
where $lib is either lib or lib64).

I'm not quite sure what default directories a debian-based install prefers;
patches are welcome to ./autogen.sh to account for any differences to match
debian-preferred layout.
