Which version of libguestfs is this? I think you'll have no hope of #rpm -qa | grep libguestfs

getting upstream libguestfs to run on RHEL 5. There is a branch Yes. The upstream maybe be involving in libvirtd, you know, there is no libvirtd on RHEL5 ('oldlinux') which may still work:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commits/oldlinux I will try it.
I think the EPEL 5 package is the same as this branch. In particular the EPEL 5 package has the "Add-null-vmchannel-back-for-qemu-without-virt" patch which should make it work on RHEL 5, although for some reason it doesn't. Can you post the full, unedited output from 'libguestfs-test-tool'.
By the way, the libguestfs src can't build one available base.img and daemon.img.
#ll /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/ total 1752 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1536 Sep 27 14:39 base.img <----- it can't work.
Not sure what you mean. Why wouldn't it work?
