Spice install problem

I originally sent this question to the spice-devel list but they told me I was better off to send it here... So here goes. I'm running into some problems installing Spice .4 on my CentOS 5.5. I was following the instructions here:
http://www.spice-space.org/docs/spice_user_manual.pdf

I've compiled and installed all the dependencies and have the spice client installed also, but ran into problems with the vdesktop. Specifically this portion of the instructions for my older kernel:

I got the kernel source here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.30.tar.bz2

At which point I ran into a problem because I didn't have the source for the installed kernel 2.6.18-194.el5. I installed the devel-kernel from here:
http://mirror.web-ster.com/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/CentOS/kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.el5.x86_64.rpm.

Now when I run "make" it gives a number of errors:

[root@localhost kernel]# make

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/build M=`pwd` \
                LINUXINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/include -Iinclude \
                 -Iarch/x86/include -I`pwd`/include-compat -I`pwd`/x86 \
                -include include/linux/autoconf.h \
                -include `pwd`/x86/external-module-compat.h" \
                "$@"

Am I using the wrong kernel source? If so, which source do I need to use? Or is this some scripting problem?

Thanks
Brian

You were steered in the wrong direction :-)

This is a problem specific to vdesktop because they're using a very outdated version of kvm. The kernel code was split from the userspace code a long time ago.

I'm sorry I don't think I fully understand this. Does the vdesktop contain some version of kvm? Does this mean I'm not going to be able to use spice with my newer version of kvm?
