Recently i deployed latest 1.17.40 on rhel6.1. When i ran a tiny program which was to test the function guestfs_mount_local() or those similar functions that mounts locally, Error prompted?undefined symbol guest_mount_local ! Why didn`t this undefined symbol error prompt when the program was first compiled,but occurred when it was run? Then i gave guestfish mount local a try in the shell, and found that ok.I thought it could not be something wrong with the installation.And then wierd happened?i ran the previous test program again,and it did mount the vm image on the host local directory! I doubted whether this was repeatable so i ran it again,and it failed with the same error ?undefined symbol guestfs_mount_local?.

The one from RHEL 6 will be in /usr. You might want to set 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' so that the program uses the /usr/local copy, ie: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./prog By the way, it's not necessarily safe to mix'n'match libraries, daemons and appliances like you're trying to do here. The protocol used between the library and the daemon has changed since RHEL 6.2. If you are using libguestfs 1.16.19 (from [1]) then it'll probably work for the majority of features. Earlier versions, probably not. If you don't want to compile the right daemon + appliance on RHEL 6, you can copy an appliance from a Fedora 17+ machine. See the instructions here: http://libguestfs.org/libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance.1.html http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance/ Also you can modify your program so it prints out the version of libguestfs that it's using: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_version #include <stdio.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <guestfs.h> //... guestfs_h *g = guestfs_create (); struct guestfs_version *vers = guestfs_version (g); printf ("version = %" PRIi64 ".%" PRIi64 ".%" PRIi64 ".%s", vers->major, vers->minor, vers->release, vers->extra); Rich.
