Alan,
Thanks for the prompt response!

So then, if I use the flag --with-sysconfdir=/etc, my raddbdir should now be
/etc/raddb and not ${prefix}/etc . Also, since I use
--with-localstatedir=/var, my localstatedir should be /var and not
${prefix}/var. Is that correct? That is what makes sense to me, but here is
what happens when I run configure with those flags:
*** from the Make.inc.in ***
# Location of files.
prefix = /usr/local
exec_prefix = ${prefix}
sysconfdir = ${prefix}/etc
localstatedir = ${prefix}/var
libdir = ${exec_prefix}/lib
bindir = ${exec_prefix}/bin
sbindir = ${exec_prefix}/sbin
mandir = ${prefix}/man
logdir = ${localstatedir}/log/radius
raddbdir = ${sysconfdir}/raddb
radacctdir = ${logdir}/radacct
This is why I think that either:
1)I am not understanding something, and the /usr/local must always be there
even if I use those two flags.
or
2)Those two flags are being ignored.

I did a fresh "tar xvzf freeradius-snapshot-20020503.tar.gz" and then ran the
above configure and flags.
It's not that I am unable to change the configure script myself, because I did
that and I already have the radius server up and running. I just want to make
sure that the configure script & flags work properly for everyone else, just
in case there was an error in there somewhere.
Another thing I noticed. While installing freeradius it also installs
"libltdl" from the libtool set which radiusd needs. This is fine, but it
installed libltdl.* in /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/lib was not in my
ld.so.conf, so radiusd couldn't run. I fixed it for my install but, should
something in the configure, make, or make install sequence check my
ld.so.conf to see if that path is valid and possibly add it and run ldconf?
Or is that beyond what the install sequence should be checking for?
Thanks!
Nick
