libguestfs-test-tool error, libcap.so - no such file
by Skippy VonDrake 17 Jan '13

Did install from source of libguestfs-1.20.1 on Ubuntu-12.10. And libguestfs-test-tool complains about not finding libcap.so.2 uptime: 2.26 1.00 guestfsd: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [ 2.277795] Unregister pv shared memory for cpu 0 [ 2.278324] kvm: exiting hardware virtualization [ 2.278763] sd 2:0:1:0: [sdb] Synchronizing SCSI cache [ 2.284494] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache [ 4.224797] Disabling non-boot CPUs ...

Should an install of libguestfs be considered as a "do at your own risk" endeavor? Putting it in the quasi-support realm? And is the appliance trying to find libcap.so on the host or within the appliance when it fails? Skippy

by 王健 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi，Richard When I installed Libguestfs with source code，it required the version of febootstrap. But febootstrap had been installed beyond the version required. Could you give me some suggestion?
