Little bit surprising ...  What does this command say:

  guestfish -a /dev/null run : available "lvm2" && echo this is available

On my CentOS 5.5 x86-64 host it says that lvm2 is available, which it
should be under every circumstance on a Linux host.

It's not possible to build libguestfs on RHEL 5 with support for
everything.  Some external programs simply don't exist.  Might be
better to start with the question: what features do you need that are
missing?
