[Libguestfs] Re： Re： guestfs_mount_local* api undefined symbols

[Nok]

the 'hivex' had been installed actually,  hivex.x86_64 0:1.2.4-3.el6 and perl-hivex.x86_64 0:1.2.4-3.el6,
however it just could not be detected.Maybe i should compile one rather than just yum.
I`m not familiar with hivex,as far as i know, it can be used to modify windows registry,
but why the inspection API had been binded with hivex when we might use inspection api
solely with linux os instance image?

Local builds act a bit differently because they contain a hidden
'RPATH' ELF entry:

  $ eu-readelf -d ./fish/.libs/lt-guestfish | grep RPATH
  RPATH             Library rpath: [/home/rjones/d/libguestfs/src/.libs:/usr/local/lib]

This RPATH entry overrides LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

  $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64 ./fish/.libs/lt-guestfish --version
  guestfish 1.17.40

For the builds that we provide in Fedora and RHEL, we strip out RPATH:

  $ eu-readelf -d /usr/bin/guestfish | grep RPATH
  $ /usr/bin/guestfish --version
  /usr/bin/guestfish 1.17.36fedora=17,release=2.fc17

Install the 'hivex-devel' and 'libvirt-devel' packages (from RHEL)
before ./configure && make.

You may be able to do 'yum-builddep libguestfs' to install all the
dependencies; or else read the libguestfs.spec file (BuildRequire lines).
