I am using libguestfs-1.24.4.tar.gz
After running ./configure with disable options i get a message claiming a
febootstrap >=3.2.
I already installed febootstrap-3.21-4.el6x86_64.rpm for centos6.5.
In the rpm description i found a note telling that this rpm will provide
febootstrap 2.11 and 3.21, and indeed i have too commands febbotstrap(2.11)
and febootstrap3(3.21).
Right, good old RHEL/CentOS 6 :-)
You have to set the following environment variable to tell it which
febootstrap to use:
export FEBOOTSTRAP=febootstrap3
*Note : the kernel of centos6.5 is 2.6.32, which is lower than the
one
required in README file . But i don't know whether it may be the source of
the problem*
We (Red Hat) have backported all the bits needed for libguestfs, so
the CentOS kernel "2.6.32" should be fine.
I'm interested though: why do you want to just compile guestfsd?
