libvirt users - Dec 2015 - FAIL: qemuxml2argvtest , FAIL: virsh-uriprecedence after make check

Hi there,

I'm new to libvirt and I'm trying to install it on a Debian Jessie
system.
My goal is to create and use VMs from the command line.

When I get to the $ make check (not as root) I am getting the message
below. I am not sure if those "failed" messages should be corrected
before
starting to use libvirt, not sure how important they are. I will appreciate
any hint or advise. Thanks.

This test is very expensive, so it is disabled by default.
To run it anyway, rerun: make check VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=1

Hi,

do you have the latest libxml2 installed? It could be this bug:

Running the failing tests with debug on should produce a better error:
VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 VIR_TEST_RANGE=124 ./qemuxml2argvtest
