I want to install libguestfs in Centos 5 Kernel version

(another prereq for libguestfs), I am getting the following error
during 'make'.
It's essentially very difficult to compile libguestfs for RHEL 5. We
stopped supporting it some time ago, except for the old version of
libguestfs that ships in RHEL 5 (1.2.something, about 2 years old).
I'm not even sure what "2.6.18.8-xen" is. I don't think it's a
kernel
that Red Hat ship, and so it's not likely that it contains the bits
required to run recent libguestfs (virtio-serial etc.).
I would use RHEL 6 instead, which is supported and for which we even
build packages for you:
http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-6.3-preview/
If you can't do that, then you can look here and try to make
more recent versions of these:
http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/rhel5-packages/
but as I said above, this is going to be extremely hard work.
