libvirt users - Jan 2013 - Libvirt daemon is not getting started

Hi,

Earlier I was having libvirt-0.7.5 but now I have installed 0.9.8 version 
of libvirt now.
I am trying to start libvirt daemon using the command below but daemon it 
is not getting started and the PID file is not getting created. Tried 
/usr/loval/sbin/libvirtd -d option too. In that case I am not getting any 
error but PID file is not getting created in this case too.

/usr/local/sbin/libvirtd

2013-01-16 16:43:53.399+0000: 4070: info : libvirt version: 0.9.8

2013-01-16 16:43:54.704+0000: 4070: error : daemonRunStateInit:1157 : 
Driver state initialization failed

and I am also trying to connect to VMPlayer with the following URL but it 
is giving the following error message: 

virsh # connect vmplayer:///session
error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Failed to connect socket to 
'/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

Is this because of the daemon, as it is not getting started or because of 
some other reason?

Can anybody suggest any solution for this. I am stuck from past few days 
and not able to find solution. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Varun

Is this a pre-built distro version (if so, you might want to ask your
distro for help) or from an upstream tarball (if so, why not upgrade all
the way to libvirt 1.0.1?  There may have been a fix for this issue in
the meantime).   Remember, libvirt strives for backward-compatibility,
so you can always drop in a newer libvirt where an older one used to work.

This warning is worth heeding, but not mandatory to fix.

This, on the other hand, is the reason that libvirtd is not starting.
Are you actually using uml?  If not, it may be easiest to rerun
./configure, but this time pass --without-uml, to disable this code.  If
you are, then you'll probably have to step through the initialization
under gdb to see why inotify isn't working.

Yes, this error is expected when libvirtd fails to run.

I'll repeat the advice we have already given you about avoiding
disclaimers by sending from a personal account, but this time by copying
a humorous blurb first posted elsewhere
