Yes, libvirt-sandbox questions are welcome here

Ok, so libvirt either hasn't compiled selinux, or has failed to
activate it

That confirms you've got basic SELinux support compiled, but it
doesn't mean that's enough to enable it for LXC. We also have
a check for the selinux_lxc_contexts_path function in libselinux.so

Yes, that confirms that it definitely isn't available for LXC


I think you'd probably need to upgrade the libselinux library
and selinux policy too I'm afraid.

FWIW, I've never really intended that libvirt-sandbox work on
RHEL-6, since as you've discovered quite a few dependancies
are too old and require updating. I've only targetted Fedora
and forthcoming RHEL-7
