Michael,
This does not directly help you, but I would not try to compile Virt-Manager on a Debian computer. I recommend only installing the Virt-Manager that has been packaged for Debian 9. I try my best never to install software that has not been packaged for the version of Debian that I am using, too much risk of missing dependencies. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/virt-manager https://packages.debian.org/stretch/virt-manager I use both Debian 9 and Debian 10 to run Virt-Manager and qemu-kvm. Both of these have their own packages for Virt-Manager (and qemu-kvm) which I find very useful. George.

I tried the Debian 9 (stretch) default install (virt-manager 1.4.0-5), but it wasn’t working [“python 3.4 or later is required, your's is sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=13, releaselevel='final', serial=0)”]. Since virt-manager 2.2.1 was just released, I compiled it (./setup.py install), but while it launches without complaint it does nothing when I click “New Virtual Machine.” (Way too many copy/pasted notes below for reference.) The virt-manager.log says: “python guestfs is not installed” but both python-guestfs and libguestfs-tools are installed. It is also saying a pool 'default' already exists, but there’s nothing in the dir it talks about. It also states “Uncaught exception: Namespace GtkSource not available” which lead me to these posts [1], but none of the packages listed to install are found (gtksourceview4, gir1.2-gtksource-4, libgtksourceview-4-0, libgtksourceview-4-common). At the bottom of the bug report it seems to indicate gtksourceview3 is acceptable (which is installed). At this point I’m a bit lost on what to try next. Would some kind soul skim my virt-manager.log and give me a pointer on what’s needed to get virt-manager to let me create a new VM?
