In CentOS 6 with KVM, I have libguestfs-tools installed, but the
"virt-xxx" tools like "virt-df" just give, "libguestfs: error: cannot
find any suitable libguestfs supermin, fixed or old-style appliance on
LIBGUESTFS_PATH (search path: /usr/lib64/guestfs)". What am I missing?

All the guests boot and run OK. I just can't get these tools to work.

libguestfs-tools-1.20.11-11.el6.x86_64
libguestfs-tools-c-1.20.11-11.el6.x86_64

$ ls -lR /usr/lib64/guestfs
