Here at work, we use a virtual infrastructure. We use virt-manager a lot, but I'm on a Mac and can't get it to work.

Is there a way to make it work or an alternative ?

Thanks,

There's now a brew formula homebrew-virt-manager which I've used to successfully connect to a CentOS 5 box running qemu+kvm.

brew tap jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager
brew install virt-manager virt-viewer
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2
virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://user@libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
