This, from the OpenSSL FAQ "... you MUST ensure that you do not overwrite the openssl that is in /usr/bin on your Red Hat machine" and advice in other HOWTOs are my why I installed to an alternate directory. I tried ./configure --with-experimental-modules --with-openssl-includes=/usr/local/openssl/include/openssl --with-openssl-libraries=/usr/local/openssl/lib which is apparently not sufficient to "link" FreeRADIUS to the right stuff.
I'm not above blowing away this Red Hat server and starting over with Slack, but I've a good deal of sweat equity in the current setup and would sincerely like to avoid doing that.
you may also need to make sure that your startup scripts have exported the correct libs for the second install.
i use this:
#!/bin/sh -x
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/openssl-dev/lib:/usr/local/radius-dev/lib
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/openssl-dev/lib/libcrypto.soexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_PRELOAD
/usr/local/radius-dev/sbin/radiusd $@
i don't recall which HOW-TO i found it in.
i still don't have authentication working properly ... but i haven't been able to nail down my full problem yet.
