[Pacemaker] Pacemaker 1.1.12 cib testing, crm_mon doesn't work

Fri Jun 13 09:23:31 UTC 2014

I exported the PCMK_ipc_buffer in my console before running the crm_mon 
and everything worked.
But I see this more as a workaround (could set this in my bash_profile).

I currently have libqb-0.16.0-2.el6.x86_64 installed,
which version should fix this ?

Thanks!
