Hi,
  I have been having some issues getting self-built libvirt,
python-virtinst, virt-viewer and virt-manager (installed in custom
prefix) to work. Some of the issue I figured on my own already but
some are still in the way. First issue is that I get this error from
libvirtd on startup:

# libvirtd
00:44:09.473: 20890: info : libvirt version: 0.9.1
00:44:09.473: 20890: error : virCommandWait:1390 : internal error
Child process (/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces

--dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254
--dhcp-leasefile=/home/zeenix/spice-usr/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.leases
--dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override) status unexpected: exit
status 2
00:44:09.540: 20890: warning : networkStartNetworkDaemon:1800 : Failed
to delete dummy tap device '(null)' on bridge 'virbr0' : Invalid
argument

When I tried this commandline myself:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces
--pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file=
--except-interface lo --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --dhcp-range
192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override

dnsmasq: no interface with address 192.168.122.1

   So the question is where does this IP come from? I don't see it in
libvirt.conf.
