I just found the same thing (maybe) on my most recent Slackware build. Running
in debug mode (VenueClient3.py -d in a terminal) actually mentioned an
unsatisfied shared object library version - it was looking for libavcodec.so.54
whereas my system has a newer libavcodec.so.55 so, yes, a rebuild would fix
that. In the meantime, I was able to make a symbolic link from the ...so.55
library to …so.54 which was enough to make VPCScreen work (yes, a bad hack but
confirms cause of problem).

Are you using the Centos builds for your RHEL 6.4? If so, there are SRPMs that
you could rebuild from at:
