I'm attempting to compile using the freeradius-0.8.1-7.src.rpm located in
the "rawhide" section of the RedHat ftp server, this was released just a
few days ago. In this SRPM are a couple of patches. Aside from
umteen-toomany dependancies for snmp which I have disabled via
--with-snmp=no (don't need it), the build fails in the rlm_eap module
apparently due to a redhat specific patch. Here's the compiler output :
rpm -bi SPECS/freeradius.spec

The patch appears to modify the way memory allocation is handled :

I've played around a little with the code, but this is beyond my immediate
abilities. I'm hoping someone here may be familiar with what is trying to
be done and can suggest a fix. I'm a little reluctant to remove the patch
since someone was obviously trying to fix something with memory allocation
and I don't want to run the risk of a memory issue on this machine as a
result. If this is something better directed at the RedHat folks, I can
take this up on their list. Surprisingly I have found no complaints on any
of the lists, but this was just released a few days ago. Help much
appreciated...

Chris
