This error may indicate that there are missing X dependencies. In most cases installing the X Org libXtst library should resolve this issue. To do so, you can run the following command as root:
yum install libXtst
You may also be able to resolve this by installing an RPM for libXtst such as libXtst-1.0.1-3.1.x86_64.rpm.
