This is what I've done :
1. Install freevsd-pkgs-<version>.rpm on the host server
2. Compile and install the source-code of freevsd with the
--enable-addons option
3. Run vsd-install.pl
4. Run vsd-genskel.pl (this is where I get an error about glibc not
being able to install due to dependencies).
5. Due to the error on the previous line, I rpm -ivh --force --nodeps
--root=<my skel directory> *.rpm
As you can see, I install the rpms in the skel directory, but still I
get that annoying problem.
