CentOS - Jan 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager error

Greetings,


I am getting the following error when I start the Virtual machine manager

[root at centos Desktop]# uname -a
Linux blah.blah.blah 2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 23
02:21:33 CST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Error polling connection 'qemu:///system': internal error Cannot find
suitable emulator for x86_64

libvirtError: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64

any clues?

TIA

wild guess (as I haven't yet played with el6 virtalization)

     # yum install qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-tools qemu-img
