Alan,

Thanks for your quick response! Yes, I'm aware that apple has included FR into Leopard and am curious to see how it works in that version of the OS once I move to it eventually. However, for the Tiger users of which I'll remain for a while, I'd like to provide ease of installation via macports.

Though a build-able 1.1.7 is available via macports right now, it needs a patch -- which may be a moot point now that 2.0 is here and it fixes the trouble that stripping the binaries (i.e, the INSTALLSTRIP -s switch) caused.

I'll look more into the PATH setting for building against 5.10. Perhaps adding the PERL5LIB variable in my env will do the trick.

Jim

Hi,

several folk run FreeRADIUS on MacOSX already - and Apple even
have added code themselves - I believe FR is the fundamental
EAP system in eg latest airport/timecapsule product (though
I may be wrong on that aspect of usage! ;-) )

2] Is perl only a build dependency for rlm_perl, or does the module make
runtime calls to external perl libs?

correct. its only for rlm_perl

3] I've discovered with an install of perl 5.10 that, during configure (of freeradius 2), the linker chooses the /System/Library/5.8.6... over the new perl ( at {prefix}/lib/perl/5.10.0 ). The only thing I can guess is that
when searching for perl libs/includes, the linker only expands to seek
version n.n.n and does not recognize a two digit subversion n.nn.n. If
that's what's happening, is that patchable?

or likely its a PATH problem and you have to tell it where your 5.10.0
is living.
