I did a rpm -K which shows

freeradius-2.1.7-7.fc12.src.rpm: sha1 md5 OK
I installed all the rpm-build packages before hand so do not know why
this is happening. I am using Centos 5.4
I think this is related to the changes for RPM since F11. You can not
unpack F11/F12 RPMs on F < 11 and RHEL/CentOS < 6.
If this is the case, unpack the src.rpm with "rpm2cpio" on a F11+ system
and copy the files to the appropriates places (SOURCES and SPECS) on
your CentOS system.
Thanks. You are right about about using old versions of Fedora. I
didn't have old fedora machine so used the the following command
rpm --nomd5 -ivh freeradius-2.1.7-7.fc12.src.rpm
After that I followed the instructions as normal and ended up with the
required RPMs. All except for
freeradius-libs
freeradius-devel
Are these 2 RPMs essential to the core running of freeradius?
