Hi all,
I am trying to compile libguestfs from source in Fedora12, but failed  
with such error:

It's not clear, but are you trying to compile from the SRPM?  If
so then you must add the following line to your ~/.rpmmacros file:

  %libguestfs_buildnet   1

See the top of the spec file for an explanation.

I got the source code from git://git.annexia.org/git/libguestfs.git, and tried to compile libguestfs within the directory.

If that's not the case, then make sure you have the latest
febootstrap, and make sure you are building --with-repo set to the
same name as the build host (eg. if --with-repo=fedora-12, then the
build host must be Fedora 12 too).

Does the initramfs directory exist?  What's in it?

Rich.

For the host:
# rpm -qa | grep febootstrap
febootstrap-2.6-1.fc12.noarch

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 12 (Constantine)

# uname -a
Linux yuzhang 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Apr 5 19:59:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And I use the following command before make:
# ./autogen.sh --with-mirror=http://fileshare.englab.nay.redhat.com/redhat/fedora/linux/releases/12/x86_64/os --with-updates=http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/x86_64/ --with-repo=fedora-12

Problem still exists.
