What are the errors?

Did you try:

yum --enablerepo=epel-testing install '*guestf*'

when i try,

yum --enablerepo=epel-testing update

could you please help?

I've just tried it on my CentOS 5 machine, and it installed fine. Have you got /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1? Have you tried installing or updating the 'file' package? Are you using any other external repositories? Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.

I DO NOT have /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1 present.

yes, *rpm -q file* gives,

[root@centos-test ~]# rpm -q file file-4.17-15.el5_3.1

$ rpm -q file file-4.17-15.el5_3.1 $ rpm -ql file [...] /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1 This machine is i386. If yours is x86-64, then it could be a multilib brokenness problem. You will need to remove the libguestfs.i386 package, block it so that it never gets installed, and reinstall the libguestfs.x86_64 package.

Thanks Rich, Somehow i am able to get guestfish tool installex with

Nice, but when i try I created this image with virt-install, this runs fine on Xen.

if i try

[root@centos-test ~]# file /vm/toyoto.img /vm/toyoto.img: data

guestfish -a /vm/toyoto.img

...

<fs> run *Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated: No such file or directory* <fs> list-partitions <fs>

List partitions displays nothing!

What is the image file? Presumably one which contains no partitions. How about:

<fs> lvs <fs> file /dev/sda
