Well, the issue is that the binary can't find the shared library.
You can run ldd in the binary to see this kind of issues, for
instance:

  $ ldd /usr/bin/virt-viewer | grep -i spice

  libspice-client-glib-2.0.so.8 => /lib64/libspice-client-glib-2.0.so.8 (0x00007fe9526c6000)
  libspice-client-gtk-3.0.so.5 => /lib64/libspice-client-gtk-3.0.so.5 (0x00007fe95267c000)

In your case the output is expected to be:

  libspice-client-glib-2.0.so.8 => not found
  libspice-client-gtk-3.0.so.5 => not found

You can fix this with LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable,
adding the path to the folder with the shared library.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with LFS.

Cheers,
Victor
