It looks like you've compiled your own version of libguestfs
from source.

Did you run ‘make install’?  It's best NOT to do that.

You can access the python bindings from the compiled source directory
using:

  ./run python

as described here:

  http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-building.1.html#the-.-run-script

If that doesn't work then you need to send the full output from
‘./configure && make’ when you build libguestfs.
