the details are;
unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: No such file or directory

Have you started libvirtd? Note the line in the message to verify that it's started

service libvirtd start

What happens if you type that (as root or with sudo) from a command prompt.

i figured that out, eventually..
thought vmm was supposed to start libvirt
all set, for now

It probably will start on reboot. You can check with

chkconfig --list ilbvirtd

If it shows on for level 3 and 5, it will automatically start at next boot. If it says off and you want it to start at next boot do

chkconfig libvirtd on
