virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.  Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.

libguestfs 1.20?

This is because you need to install libxml2-devel.

I would suggest doing:

  yum builddep libguestfs

as that will install the dependencies you need.
