Hi,
I am running libvirt on RHEL 6.2 and getting this below error when I start the
daemon:
/usr/sbin/libvirtd --verbose
2012-04-20 06:00:13.366+0000: 26900: info : libvirt version: 0.9.11

I compiled libvirt from the source, do I really need dnsmasq??
Thanks
Yes, libvirtd uses dnsmasq to service the virtual networks, for details, you can
see the following
docs:
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Libvirtd_and_dnsmasq
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtual_network_%27default%27_has_not_been_started
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/VirtualNetworking#Further_dnsmasq_info
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/FAQ
Good Luck!
Alex

That is - dnsmasq is used as DHCP server for guests. You can disable autostart on the default network via virsh: virsh net-autostart --disable default Michal
