Re: [Libguestfs] Error while compiling febootstrap (a prereq for libguestfs)

We stopped supporting it some time ago, except for the old version of libguestfs that ships in RHEL 5 (1.2.something, about 2 years old). I'm not even sure what "2.6.18.8-xen" is. I don't think it's a kernel that Red Hat ship, and so it's not likely that it contains the bits required to run recent libguestfs (virtio-serial etc.). I would use RHEL 6 instead, which is supported and for which we even build packages for you: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-6.3-preview/ If you can't do that, then you can look here and try to make more recent versions of these: http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/rhel5-packages/ but as I said above, this is going to be extremely hard work.
