libvirt users - Dec 2012 - Libvirt problem with KVM from source

Dear List,

 I have installed a custom KVM on my Ubuntu 12.04 which I sometimes use. I would
like to use it with libvirt, so I used apt-get to install libvirt, virt-viewer
and virtinst.

 I can start virsh after installation and it says it is version 0.9.8, but once
I get to trying to install a VM with virtinst, I get the error message:

 ERROR Host does not support any virtualisation options 

 If I install KVM using apt-get the exact same instruction works, so perhaps the
problems occurs with the custom KVM due to the configuration of the KVM install
but I'm afraid I can't figure it out. I would really like to make it
work with the custom KVM rather than the packaged version. I install the custom
KVM at the prefix /usr/local/kvm, but I don't change anything else. Could
this have anything to do with it?

 Thanks for reading.

 Regards,

 Ekrem

Does your custom KVM binary (source compiled ?) run properly ?
Have you test it ?

eg. try booting a live iso

Hi,

 Does your custom KVM binary (source compiled ?) run properly ? Have you test it
?  Yes indeed, it compiles fine and works exactly as I wish. The only problem
occurs after I try to add libvirt to the custom KVM.
