Hello Richard, I have been following that link to build libguestfs that includes virt-resize binary. But it is found that the libguetfs is split into another libguestfs-tools-c which actually provides this virt-resize binary. I would like to know at which part of the spec the virt-binary is created. I mean, what actually provides this binary? Regards, Emlyn Jose -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.M.

Hi Richard, Thank you for the feedback!

According to that guide the required ocaml-libvirt is ocaml-libvirt ≥ 0.6.1.5 and unfortunately the available version in their official page is only 0.6.1.4. Any idea what is missing here?
