I tried the same, this is what I get:

+ cd ../libguestfs-1.30.3

run: warning: You used './configure --disable-appliance' so LIBGUESTFS_PATH

run: warning: has not been set automatically.

The path exported is:

export LIBGUESTFS_PATH=PREFIX/lib/guestfs/appliance:$LIBGUESTFS_PATH

The libguestfs directory is as below:

$ ls SOURCES/libguestfs-1.30.3

aclocal.m4 configure.ac gnulib Makefile.in sparsify

align contrib GNUmakefile make-fs src

Most likely you've run ‘make install’ at some point and now have multiple copies installed all over the place, which is why binaries and libraries are linked to the wrong versions.

I suggest started from scratch (reinstalling your operating system), and NOT running ’make install’ at any point. You can use the ‘./run’

script to run things from the build directory.
