Wow this has a lot of dependencies :) Two questions...
Let's put this on the mailing list so others can help.
Do I need OCaml installed?
Where does guestfs_protocol.x come from?
I checked out the master branch from github and tried compiling that.
Warning: Install OCaml compiler in order to rebuild the generated files.

Did you start from the git repo or from an RPM?
I would start from the git repo. First install all the dependencies
by downloading the following file:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libguestfs.git/plain/libguestfs.spec
and doing (as root):
yum-builddep libguestfs.spec
You will have to comment out a handful of BuildRequires lines from the
spec file (because packages are not available in RHEL) until you get
everything possible installed.
Secondly, go to:
http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/libguestfs-RHEL-6.5/
and install augeas* and febootstrap* packages for your architecture.
Then clone the libguestfs upstream git from github, and follow the
`Building' section in the README file (all non-root).
You might need to do:
make -C po-docs update-po
at some point half way through the build. It should be obvious where.

New subject: virt-builder looks AWESOME!

Actually it's more accurate to say: follow the building
instructions here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-October/thread.html#00060
including creating localconfigure, localenv etc.
I just followed all that, and it certainly works for me.
Note you can run virt-builder without installing (and without needing
root) by doing:
export VIRT_BUILDER_SOURCE=http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/index.asc
./run ./builder/virt-builder -l
./run ./builder/virt-builder fedora-19
Setting VIRT_BUILDER_SOURCE is necessary because the ./run script sets
the source to the local directory, which is useful for testing, not so
good for using.
