The error means you need to do a 'make clean'. I believe it is caused
by having an *.ml file move from one directory to another, which
leaves an "orphaned" *.cmi file in the old directory. This confuses
the compiler because the cmi file is never recompiled, and so
continues to refer to an old Guestfs interface (try
'ocamlobjinfo mllib/perl_edit.cmi' to see interface hashes). In any
case, 'make clean' will delete *.cmi files and fix the problem.
