The failures are in two of the gnulib tests, which could be due to the combination of old gnulib in that libguestfs release plus old distribution. It should be safe to ignore them in your case, it is enough to pass --disable-gnulib-tests to configure to not run them at all. Also, please refer to the building instructions on the libguestfs.org site for a more comprehensive documentation: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-building.1.html In addition, you don't really need to install libguestfs to use it -- see the section about the ./run script in the documentation I linked above. Furthermore, please note the version you are building is old, and thus you might hit bugs already fixed upstream (not counting all the improvements done in the tools you want to use). You are recommended to use the latest stable series, with currently is 1.34.x (with 1.34.3 the latest stable release). It should build also on that Ubuntu version, and if not we could try making it so, if it does not turn out to be too complex. Thanks, -- Pino Toscano
