You may want to do some reading in the freeradius/doc directory - take a look at the rlm_sql file in particular - one thing that is mentioned is the "driver" for the sql database is really just a "shim" used to connect the freeradius server to the database through the database client application... if you installed the MySQL database as a binary and just installed the server and not the client (I am not sure how Linux handles binary packages so I do not know if the required header and linking files are included in binary packages) then you would get such an error....
I have installed Freeradius multiple times (mostly for testing on different platforms and configurations) and always have installed the MySQL database software from source (most of the time there is not a binary package for the platform I am working with [grin]) and I have not run into a problem using the Freeradius server with the MySQL database.... Hope this helps... Gary McKinney On Friday 30 April 2004 02:34 am, Linda Pagillo wrote: > Thanks. I already read all of that and i did everything he said to do.
