hi all:
I am trying to use libguestfs to manage my vm disk , I want to use
guestfs-lib the C library on ubuntu 12.04. so I download
libguestfs-1.28.1 and try to install it .
what I did is : ./autogen.sh
./configure
make
this time some errors occurs :
File "output_libvirt.ml", line 53, characters 4-13:
Error: Unbound value List.mapi
make[2]: *** [output_libvirt.cmx] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/Libvmi/libguestfs-1.28.1/v2v'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/Libvmi/libguestfs-1.28.1'

This has been fixed upstream, with the commit https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/0c717d86a9ae66162eebe315d1c56c82a01b9096 in the stable-1.28 branch. You have two option: a) compile libguestfs 1.28.5 (which includes the above patch) or greater b) apply yourself the patch to your 1.28.1 sources Unless you really need libguestfs 1.28.1 and not any later version, I recommend the solution (a); currently libguestfs 1.28.9 is the latest stable version.

Is it possible to use 14.04 or ideally 15.04 instead? I'm afraid with 12.04 you'll end up having a lot more problems than just the one below.> what I did is : ./autogen.sh > ./configure > make > this time some errors occurs : > > File "output_libvirt.ml", line 53, characters 4-13: > Error: Unbound value List.mapi > make[2]: *** [output_libvirt.cmx] Error 2 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/Libvmi/libguestfs-1.28.1/v2v' > make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/Libvmi/libguestfs-1.28.1' > make: *** [all] ?? 2 > > I still can't fix it after searching so please help me !This bug was fixed by the following commit: commit 47d909808aa8cd285f46cab5ea08c7971f8f2f85 Author: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones at redhat.com> Date: Thu Dec 18 08:30:18 2014 +0000 v2v: -o libvirt: Replace List.mapi with mapi. Don't depend on OCaml >= 4.00. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532698 Thanks: Fabian Ohler which was included in the 1.28 stable branch in >= 1.28.5. However even if you use a later version of libguestfs, I'm afraid you're still going to have a lot of problems with the old version of Ubuntu.
