Hi, > Notes: > * The wiki glosses over a little and gives u an incorrect dir > * the spec file expects 1.1.5 tar.gz
yes, that has already been noted. simply edit the spec file to use the correct value. > # tar zxvf /root/Desktop/freeradius-1.1.6.tar.gz > # cp /root/Desktop/freeradius-1.1.6.tar.gz > /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/freeradius-1.1.5.tar.gz > # cp freeradius-1.1.6/suse/freeradius.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ > # rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/freeradius.spec just confirm that you are running SUSE or RedHat/Fedora/CentOS ? > [EMAIL PROTECTED] src]# rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/freeradius.spec > sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found > sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found > sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found okay. no apache devel tools installed. > error: Failed build dependencies: > apache2-devel is needed by freeradius-1.1.5-0.generic.i386 > db-devel is needed by freeradius-1.1.5-0.generic.i386 > gettext-devel is needed by freeradius-1.1.5-0.generic.i386 > mysql-devel is needed by freeradius-1.1.5-0.generic.i386 > net-snmp-devel is needed by freeradius-1.1.5-0.generic.i386 > openldap2-devel is needed by freeradius-1.1.5-0.generic.i386 > postgresql-devel is needed by freeradius-1.1.5-0.generic.i386 > unixODBC-devel is needed by freeradius-1.1.5-0.generic.i386 yep. it'll need all of these - IF you want a fully specced FreeRADIUS install. you can edit the SPEC file if you really want/need to have less features - simply edit the ./configure command etc and remove the dependencies that match those changes. > now checking yum and smart --gui I do not see apache2-devel for starters. correct distro for the spec file? how did you check with yum? > So for the mean time I am back to compiling as rpm's are causing the > issues they are famous for.
