After compiling, installing and configuring libvirt according to the instructions in

http://community.abiquo.com/display/AbiCloud/Libvirt

I cannot find the startup script in /etc/init.d/

The "template" of the script can be found in the build directory
libvirt-0.6.3/qemud/libvirtd.init.in
but this version is not usable since all the macros in the script need to be replaced with the correct values.

Starting libvirt by hand with the followin command as root throws the following errors

# libvirtd -l
libvir: error : internal error 'brctl setfd virbr0 0' exited with non-zero status 1 and signal 0: libvir: error : cannot execute binary brctl: No such file or directory
Failed to autostart network 'default': internal error 'brctl setfd virbr0 0' exited with non-zero status 1 and signal 0: libvir: error : cannot execute binary brctl: No such file or directory

libvir: error : could not connect to qemu:///system

You need install bridge-utils, or the package that provides brctl binary in your distribution.

I hope this helps you

Thank you for your feedback, problem not solved yet.
I installed bridge-utils and dnsmasq and now I get a different error message when I start libvirtd by hand

# libvirtd -l

I've added a template file for libvirt daemon in wiki.
