make binaries error : 'libvirt not found'

[yogeek]

I'm trying to install infrakit for the first time but when I follow the documentation, I have an error at the "make binaries" step :

user@machine:~/go/src/github.com/docker/infrakit$ make binaries
+ clean
rm -rf build
mkdir -p build

libvirt is a library for virtualization. Infrakit depends on that for the libvirt plugin which can provision instances through KVM on Linux.

On the Mac, you can install libvirt via brew install libvirt.
On Ubuntu, you can install libvirt via sudo apt-get install -y libvirt or something similar.

If you are not planning on modifying the source code and build your custom binaries, you can also use docker and our build container to cross-compile.

On Mac:

docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/build infrakit/installer build-infrakit darwin
sudo cp ./infrakit /usr/local/bin

On Linux:

$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/build infrakit/installer build-infrakit linux
$ sudo cp ./infrakit /usr/local/bin/

Thann you for your help, I will test it as soon as possible !

[chungers]

closing this for now... feel free to reopen if there are other problems you've run into with setting things up.

For people in the same situation, the exact packages needed on ubuntu 16.04 are :

sudo apt-get install -y qemu-kvm libvirt-bin libvirt-dev

@chungers Thank you again :-)
