Hello,
Are you installing on a RH7.0 or 7.1 server? If you're installing onto a
6.2 bix ignore this next bit:
If you're installing on a RH 7.0 box, and you've installed the
freevsd..rh7-pkgs rpm, the fact that glibc is failing to install into
the skel could be a result of not applying recommended glibc 2.2-12
update. If the rh7 pkgs rpm is not installing because of libcrypto
problems, apologies, I shall have a look when I get into the office on
Tuesday.
If you're installing on a RH 7.1 box then the problem is that the glibc
supplied with either of the pkgs rpm is too low. RH 7.1 is not supported
at all yet, but if you want to help in the porting effort, let me know &
I can supply you with all of the necessary steps invloved in patching
the 3rd part rpms.
Damion.
