Yes. The upstream maybe be involving in libvirtd, you know, there is
no libvirtd on RHEL5

I will try it.
I think the EPEL 5 package is the same as this branch. In particular
the EPEL 5 package has the
"Add-null-vmchannel-back-for-qemu-without-virt" patch which should
make it work on RHEL 5, although for some reason it doesn't.
Can you post the full, unedited output from 'libguestfs-test-tool'.
By the way, the libguestfs src can't build one available base.img
and
daemon.img.
#ll /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/
total 1752
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1536 Sep 27 14:39 base.img <----- it can't work.
Not sure what you mean. Why wouldn't it work?
Rich.
