Hi ,
I have downloaded the tar file of libguestfs. There is a run.in
file , is this the script described in README file which I have to run to
get started without installing the libguestfs ?
Thank you ,

To use libguestfs as built but not installed, you need to build
libguestfs before, i.e. `./configure` first and then `make`. configure
will generate run from run.in, but still the rest of the build is
needed to generate & compile all the libraries and binaries.

Hi ,
I have installed the libguestfs-1.35.19 after running ./configure
it says
configure: error: supermin >= 5.1 must be installed, your version is
too old
but ubuntu14.04 trusty has the latest version as 4.1.6-1 as
given here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/supermin
The configure as a result was not successful and the run file not
generated yet. Do you suggest I try libguestfs1.34 stable version. I am
stuck , I guess on ubuntu 14.04 I am finding difficulty to get things going
. I would like to use the virt-customize and virt-builder commands and I
have not been able to install the package so far .
Thank you,

This is correct, libguestfs >= 1.26 requires supermin 5.x. You can
download it here: http://libguestfs.org/download/supermin/
Building is simple, the usual untar + configure + make -- check out its
README for the detailed install instructions (with requirements).
Once built (supermin does not need to be installed), you can point
libguestfs to it when running configure:
$ export SUPERMIN=/full/path/to/the/supermin/binary
$ ./configure [etc..]
See also the "SELECTED ./configure SETTINGS" section in the
guestfs-building documentation.
