[Libguestfs] guestmount symlink issues

I'm trying to use guestmount to install some kernel modules in a guest: [mbooth@mbooth linux-2.6 (amit)]$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=~/etch ln: creating symbolic link `/home/mbooth/etch/lib/modules/2.6.32-rc6/source': No such file or directory make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1 I think something's screwy with symlinks. In the following, /tmp/source is a symlink, and I have previously attempted to create a source symlink in the current directory: [mbooth@mbooth 2.6.32-rc6]$ rm source rm: cannot remove `source': No such file or directory [mbooth@mbooth 2.6.32-rc6]$ mv /tmp/source . mv: cannot create symbolic link `./source': File exists [mbooth@mbooth 2.6.32-rc6]$ ln -s /tmp foo ln: creating symbolic link `foo': No such file or directory [mbooth@mbooth 2.6.32-rc6]$ mv /tmp/source foo mv: cannot create symbolic link `foo': File exists [mbooth@mbooth 2.6.32-rc6]$ ls kernel Booting the guest shows that the symlinks haven't been created. So it looks like there are 2 possibly related issues here: 1. Symlink creation doesn't seem to work 2. Something subsequently believes the symlink exists I can create a BZ later.
