Hello, i want to start a guest OS in the server, and use spice

i config the XML file, i was confuse by spice .
The graphic node is :
<graphics type='spice' port='5990' ><listen
type='address'
address='127.0.0.1'/></graphics>
but is has such error as below :
libvir: QEMU error : internal error process exited while
connecting to monitor: qemu-spice: -spice

Apparently your "qemu-spice" binary supports the -spice option,
but doesn't support the addr option. That seems very strange. What
is the origin of "qemu-spice", and what version does it display?
The qemu-spice version is :
version 0.13.50 (qemu-kvm-devel), copy-right 2003-2008
and the host OS is Fedora 13 , x86_64
I think that "qemu-spice" binary supports the -spice option, but
doesn't support the addr option." is a good reason to explain to
problem. But how can i get the latest qemu-spice ?
It is suit fedora 13?
Where did the original "qemu-spice" come from? That's not an official
Fedora13 package, and in later versions of Fedora, spice support is
included in the standard qemu-kvm package. It sounds like you either
built qemu + a spice patch from source, or found a prebuilt package like
that somewhere.
I've only used the spice support that is integrated into the qemu-kvm
package of Fedora 14 and RHEL (the qemu-kvm in Fedora 13 is too old to
have spice support, and Fedora 13 is now officially out of support mode)
I would do one of these things:
1) try getting a source tarball for a more recent qemu-kvm release and
build/install that on your F13 machine.
2) upgrade to F14 or F15 (if you upgrade to F14, add the virt-preview
repo to your yum configuration (just copy
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jforbes/virt-preview/fedora-virt-prev...
into /etc/yum.repos.d)
3) Decide that you maybe don't *really* need spice support, but that the
VNC-based guest displays are adequate for your needs - this will work
with the stock qemu-kvm on F13 and is just fine for most uses.
