I assume that you are referring to a build from source as opposed to an rpmbuild from source?

If that's the case you would want to review this: http://wiki.freeradius.org/Build#Building_RedHat_packages

Hi all,

I am posting this so it can save some  headaches for other people in the
future.

I've been trying to install FR on a 64 bits OS for a while. First I tried RH
5.2 and I got the following errors

 /usr/bin/libtool --mode=link gcc   -o radmin
radmin.lo /usr/lib/libreadline.so /usr/lib64/libtermcap.so
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/freeradius-2.1.1/src/lib/libfreeradius-
radius.la
util.lo log.lo conffile.lo -lnsl -lresolv  -lpthread -lreadline
-ltermcap gcc -o .libs/radmin .libs/radmin.o
/usr/lib/libreadline.so
/usr/lib64/libtermcap.so .libs/util.o .libs/log.o .libs/conffile.o
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/freeradius-2.1.1/src/lib/.libs/libfreer
adius-radi
us.s
o -lnsl -lresolv -lpthread -lreadline -ltermcap
/usr/lib/libreadline.so: could not read symbols: File in
wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[4]: *** [radmin] Error 1

Then I move on to CentOs since Greg Woods informed that he is using it
without any grief.
When I was making it on CentOS I got the exactly same errors above. Then I
tried to install on Fedora 10 and it installed smoothly. After playing with
Fedora for some time I realized that it is too slow compared to CentOS or RH
and I decided to move back to CentOS and find a way to properly install it.

The clue to fix the problem was provided by Greg when he said that the FR
included with CentOS was too old. When I installed the first time I didn't
realized that there is a FR 1.13 version on CentOS so I didn't installed
along with the OS.

This time I selected 1.13 version and it was installed normally. Then I downloaded version FR 2.1 and it installed smoothly. Now I have
 radiusd -v
radiusd: FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.1, for host x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, built
on Nov 28 2008 at 23:06:41

I read somewhere in the site that this is not the recommended way to do it
and that 2.1 should be installed in a different location.

If someone could comment about any problems that can arise it will be
appreciated.

Thanks

Jair Santos

I am using it on CentOS 5.2 x86_64. The freeradius package that comes with CentOS 5 is old though, I compiled freeradius from source.
