RE:- libguestfs when building from source defaults to building a shared library. I didnt have libguestfs.so etc. I backtracked looks like I missed the CFLAGS=-fPIC off the ./autogen.sh. Blindingly obvious in 20/20 hindsight. Seems to work now!. Thanks for the help... Just need to figure out how all the appliance building works so I can "test" the created disk image. Stefan

[option 12 is the blocksize from the new version, tacked into the example code]. Still looks like its linked against the original/old libguestfs. Can I make a new libguestfs.so from the libguestfs.a and point to it locally?
I'm not really sure I understand the question. libguestfs when building from source defaults to building a shared library, and the ./run script sets up LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and other environment variables) to use it. I suggest taking a look at the ./run script itself since it's very simple.
