Dan mentioned the work-around.
However, in general, ...
Do you want to require that libguestfs be buildable
from scratch (clone) on RHEL 5.3 ?
Yes. I get more mail from external users using RHEL than Fedora, and
they often build from source so they can get the extra features we
don't ship (ie. virt-inspector). Maybe I get more mail because they
have more problems, but RHEL 5.3 built from source / git clone is
nevertheless a requirement.
Are we planning to rev autotools in RHEL 5.4? That might makes things
easier if we do it.
Rich.
