Most likely you've run ‘make install’ at some point and now have
multiple copies installed all over the place, which is why binaries
and libraries are linked to the wrong versions.

I suggest started from scratch (reinstalling your operating system),
and NOT running ’make install’ at any point.  You can use the ‘./run’
script to run things from the build directory.

Hi,
Any update on how to use ./run?

Hi,

I tried the same, this is what I get:

+ cd ../libguestfs-1.30.3
+ ./run
run: warning: You used './configure --disable-appliance' so
LIBGUESTFS_PATH
run: warning: has not been set automatically.
0 seconds:

The path exported is:
export LIBGUESTFS_PATH=PREFIX/lib/guestfs/appliance:$LIBGUESTFS_PATH

The libguestfs directory is as below:
