Hi,
I meet with the problem that "Error: unable to connect to
'/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock' ".
I do as  Error: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock'
<http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/FAQ#Error:_unable_to_connect_to_.27.2Fvar.2Frun.2Flibvirt.2Flibvirt-sock.27>said
but never worked:

root at shahe26:~#

I install the libvirt as follows:
#./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
#make
#make install

my OS is debian6.0.1a:
root at shahe26:~# uname -a
Linux shahe26 2.6.32 #1 SMP Wed Apr 27 21:52:04 PDT 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root at shahe26:~#

How to solve this problem?thanks.

best regards,
qinguan
