Re: [Libguestfs] libguestfs 1.18.11 build error

I 've just figured this out. glibc creates a symbolic link for /lib: lib -> usr/lib so yes this is a file (a symbolic link) ntfs3g creates an empty /lib directory ! The problem exist in ntfs-3g source code in this configure.ac : rootlibdir="/lib${libdir##*/lib}" after configuring libntfs-3g i can see this: Makefile:rootlibdir = /lib pacman (archlinux's package manager) doesnt care about the dir /lib cause have already installed /lib symbolic link to usr/lib I am guessing that the below lines from febootstrap source code 113 else if (ft1.ft_dir || ft2.ft_dir) && (not (ft1.ft_dir && ft2.ft_dir)) then ( 114 eprintf "febootstrap: error: %s appears as both directory and ordinary file (%s, %s)\n" 115 name1 pkg1 pkg2; 116 exit 1 have a valid reason to exist and checks for this issues. in fedora ntfs-3g spec file the /lib under %files doesnt exist. I'll make some changes to ntfs-3g PKGBUILD and suggest the patch to archlinux community.
