You need to use libvirt from the RPM packages provided by Fedora. If you
don't install libvirt as an RPM then you will break dependencies for all
other packages that are dependent on libvirt. If you do:
yum install libvirt libvirt-devel
You'll get the latest version of libvirt installed and then you can run:
yum install virt-viewer
And things should work fine.
We don't support using oVirt in the way you're using it as all of our
scripts assume that yum/rpm is being used to manage the various packages.
