You need to have the latest spice-protocol and spice-server headers
installed when building qemu, maybe you build them in the wrong order?

Also replying to your next mail here as it is related:

Hmm, I would expect the stock fc18 to work actually ...  Any chance you
perhaps also rebuild qemu between the 2 tries ?

/me goes and checks F-18 as guest (I've been using F-17 with qxl-drv + agent from git sofar)
