Hi, i am trying to use libguestfs (libvirt/kvm etc) into archlinux.

But it seems that i am keep getting this error warning: Unable to get device geometry for /var/tmp/guestfs.NwkQVJ/root

In the attached file, i've written some debug info. If someone can give me some pointer, i would appreciate it

After a lot of try & errors, i think i figured it out. If i am wrong, plz be kind with me. I have removed every file from augeas & libguestfs installation. I installed augeas 0.9.0 and changed the prefix path from /usr/local/ to /usr reinstalled libguestfs 1.14.5 (./configure && make && make install) and it seems that is working. I'll try to get a clean archlinux box and re-trace my footsteps

It seems that libguestfs includes [appliance/make.sh.in]: /usr/share/augeas/lenses/*.aug but in my linux box i have: /usr/local/share/augeas/lenses [built from source] In augeas.pc exist the prefix=/usr/local, so i believe, that must be a relative path to above.
