What options did you pass to configure, and do you already have a distro
build installed?  Usually, .so mismatches occur because you are
installing your self-built package into slightly different locations
than the distro build, at which point you have a mismatch between
hard-coded paths that the binaries are trying to look up in relation to
what binaries actually exist.

If you are going to self-build, it is often best to either install into
the exact same locations as your distro (set your ./configure flags to
match what the distro does; './autogen.sh --system' does this for at
least Fedora systems when building from git), or to uninstall your
distro version before installing yours (to ensure that the only binaries
on your path are your self-built ones, and can thus find all the
prerequisite files without being confused by older ones in alternate
locations from your distro).

Furthermore, why limit yourself to 0.9.12?  Why not use the latest 1.1.2?

hi

thanks for your information. i installed libvirt 1.1.2 as per your
suggestion.

Installation commands are as follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
--with-xen=yes --with-libxl=yes
make
make install

now i am getting the following error:

virsh # list
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: no valid connection
error: Failed to connect socket to
'/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

Guide me to solve this errror.

thanks & regards,
cooldharma06.
