Libguestfs - Sep 2015 - Re: Build of supermin 5 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

The latest Ubuntu distribution of libguestfs for Ubuntu 14.04
    includes supermin 4.
    guestfish seems to gag. 
    Apparently, I need supermin 5 to make things work. 
    
    So I downloaded supermin_5.1.9.orig.tar.gz. I unzipped to a source folder
/usr/local/src
    Then I attempted to build from source using ./configure
    I received this error:
    config.status: error: cannot find input file: `src/supermin-link.sh.in’
    Sort of a noob at compiling from source, can anyone give me a workaround?

    here's the output stream ....

I wonder if this is a missing file in that particular source tarball?

Try using the latest version.  Something like this should work:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep supermin
$ wget http://libguestfs.org/download/supermin/supermin-5.1.13.tar.gz
$ zcat supermin-5.1.13.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd supermin-5.1.13/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make check

Thanks a bunch. The latest version did the trick and compiled perfectly.
I really appreciate your help.
