Hi, Please see a fix from Centos, it is missing a dependency. http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4167
Thanks: Installed: yum install -y qspice-libs It now works thanks
The missing dependency added by Eduardo, as a fix for BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555657 (comment #4), so for RHEL 5.5 and on it's fixed.
