John, In the FAQ under the title Install the desired rpm's it reads:
The rpm's under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS are the packages you'll want to install.
% sudo rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/freeradius-2.1.1-7.fc10.src.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/freeradius-libs-2.1.1-7.fc10.src.rpm
Under the RPM dir I have an i386 dir which includes:
freeradius-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm freeradius-mysql-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm
freeradius-debuginfo-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm freeradius-perl-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm
freeradius-devel-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm freeradius-postgresql-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm
freeradius-krb5-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm freeradius-python-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm
freeradius-ldap-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm freeradius-unixODBC-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm
freeradius-libs-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm freeradius-utils-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm
and the SRPM dir includes:
freeradius-2.1.3-1.src.rpm
so the only file that I have that is a .src.rpm file is
freeradius-2.1.3-1.src.rpm, how for example does the:
rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/freeradius-2.1.1-7.fc10.src.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/freeradius-libs-2.1.1-7.fc10.src.rpm command properly
install the freeradius-libs-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm file? In other words
freeradius-libs-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm is not a .src.rpm file right?

John,
You are right, but the dir where the old radius was
"make installed" is
gone. That is the original folder that was created
after unzipping and
installing the old ver. Of radius is gone. Is there
anything else I can do?
You can recreate the tree, follow the same steps you did the
first time
which was probably something like this:
% tar xf freeradius-server.tar
% cd freeradius-server
% ./configure #passing the exact same parameters you used the
first time
% make
Now instead of "make install" run make "make uninstall"
Then you can delete the source tree.
BTW, all this is basic Linux/Unix administration, the
freeradius-users
list is not an appropriate place to learn these topics.

seems to me that it attempts to load the files he installed from tarball
that are in /usr/local/[bin|sbin] and that is what he needs to clean out
before he ever attempts to use anything installed from rpm
Exactly. FWIW the paths are embedded as a consequence of parameters passed to
configure. When you build from an SRPM the spec file passes different
parameters to configure than the default configure parameters, thus the two
installs will not likely conflict, but it's possible. Therefore the best course
of action, to assure there are no conflicts and to reduce the inevitable
confusion of having multiple copies installed in various locations is to remove
the first installation and then do an RPM install.
An install copies many files into a variety of locations, the only way to
assure you've removed all the files to use the same code to uninstall as was
used to perform the install in the first place.
BTW, this is one reason why using the package manager on the target system
(e.g. rpm, apt, dpkg, etc.) is always preferred because they know how to
install and uninstall and keep a system consistent. When you go behind the back
of these package managers by installing things manually (e.g. make install) you
run the risk of screwing your system up unless you have advanced skills and
know exactly what you're doing.
