[ovs-discuss] libvirt: error : cannot execute binary ovs-vsctl: Permission denied

[Harsh Gondaliya]

I installed OVS from source int to my /usr/src directory using the
installation steps mentioned here:
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/general/

However when I try to create a VM in KVM-QEMU and add it to OVS Bridge I
get error: Error starting domain: internal error: Unable to add port vnet0
to OVS bridge br0

The system logs shows this error:

Mar 26 19:25:01 dpdk-OptiPlex-5040 libvirtd.service: 20423: error :

Any guidance how can I give permissions to libvrt to execute ovs-vsctl?
