One of the issues I believe is Red Hat 7.1 has a newer glibc than 7.0
the rpm has glibc patched for 7.0, not for 7.1 and thus wont work.

Subject: rpm installation

I am installing freevsd-1.4.7-1rh7.i386.rpm on a fresh RH 7.1 install.  Reading through your user-guide.txt, it states on page 4:
In order to build freeVSD with OpenSSL, the OpenSSL packages (which
are  included in freevsd-pkgs-1.4.7-1.i386.rpm) must be installed
using the  following commands:

  $ rpm -ivh /usr/share/freevsd/pkgs/openssl-0.9.5a-1 
  $ rpm -ivh /usr/share/freevsd/pkgs/openssl-devel-0.9.5a-1
 
To build freeVSD with OpenSSL use the following commands:

  $ cd freevsd
  $ autoconf; autoheader
  $ ./configure --enable-addons --with-openssl
  $ make install

1st issue:  I already have openssl-0.9.6... installed.  I assume that since it is installed, I don't need to install this.  Correct me if I am wrong.

2nd:  isn't the part about building only for a source installation?  I ask this because I am not an expert on Linux, so I am not sure.  if it is supposed to be like this, I am getting an error message that it cannot find configure.in. 

If I don't need to do this part, can I just skip to the part:
To create your freeVSD certificate of authority run the CA generation
script using the  following command:

  $ /usr/sbin/vsd-genca.pl

Another question while I am at it.  Is this the right rpm for 7.1 "freevsd-1.4.7-1rh7.i386.rpm"?
