Hi Mr.DeKok, Your previous post said "Normally, you don't have to do anything. FreeRADIUS will find MySQL, and automatically build the rlm_sql_mysql driver."
When i configured freeradius the first time, i didn't do anything special. I just did the basic ./configure and that was it. As i posted previously, i ended up with a rlm_sql_mysql directory, not an actual file. Inside the directory showed files such as "configure" and "MakeFile". This made me wonder if i had to do something with it. So what you're telling me is that i should have an actual file called rlm_sql_mysql, is that correct? If yes, where would i find that file? i have looked everywhere so that i could link it correctly, but it's not on my system. Also, Mr.DeKok, please forgive me for asking questions that may seem simple to most people. I'm very new at this and Linux in general. I realize that you are a very intelligent man and being a programmer, you probably don't have the time to deal with newbies like me. Just know that your time is appreciated by me.
