libvirt users - Oct 2012 - error : virPidFileAcquirePath:345 : Failed to acquire pid file '/home/corey/.libvirt/libvirtd.pid': Resource temporarily unavailable

Hi all,     When I try to start libvirtd, using "libvirtd -d", error
notification shown below:error : virPidFileAcquirePath:345 : Failed to acquire
pid file '/$HOME/.libvirt/libvirtd.pid': Resource temporarily
unavailable     Using "libvirtd -v", show:     "libvirtd: error:
Unable to obtain pidfile. Check /var/log/messages or run without --daemon for
more info."     The file "libvirtd.pid" only contains
"2010" without any other infomation.     I have checked that libvirtd
has been installed in "/libvirt/sbin" with binary format by
self-compiled.     So how can I solve the problem? Or how to start libvirtd?
     Meanwhile, virsh can't search "libvirt-sock", because the
libvirtd is not started successfully.
Thanks a lot!

That means either there already is another libvirtd running or the
previous one died unexpectedly without removing this PID file. You can
distinguish these two via 'pgrep libvirtd' which either gives you the
very same PID as the one in the PID file (=libvirtd is running) or
nothing and than you should be safe to remove the file and start
libvirtd again. However, if libvirtd keeps failing to initialize, there
might be a misconfiguration problem (and libvirt bug as well since we
ought to remove PID file before quiting).

I have checked that I removed all distro things, ran self-built virsh, libvirtd.
To make sure, I use absolute paths for running. Also I will check process status
in time. This is "ps" shown: 2996     1  3 08:48 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/libvirt/sbin/libvirtd -d
Is there some thing wrong? I can't search "libvirt-sock" after
runing it.
Sorry for top-posting.
Thanks a lot!

can you see any tips in libvirtd --help ? is there a default sock path in
the help content?
