libvirt users - Jul 2010 - C API example

Trying to build the hellolibvirt example.  I get the project to compile okay but
when I try to run it I get:

Unable to connect to '/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libivrt-sock

Given libvirt --status says it's in /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock  that
makes sense.  How do I make the git version run with my local copy?

Or even better does anyone have any example projects that have the proper
includes documented, seperate from the build tree?  I'd like to just use the
API not compile and deal with all of libvirt at the moment.

Thanks a ton!

At the moment (still learning things), this works for me:

   $ ./configure --prefix=/
   $ make

I don't (!) do "make install" afterwards though, as that would
likely
install over the top of system provided things.

It does let me connect to the libvirtd daemon using the newly compiled 
virsh (shell utility) though:

   $ sudo tools/virsh

Hope that helps. :)

Regards and best wishes,
