Hi Boris,

I am unsure how you installed the devel branch.

Here is my recipe:

First configure the packetfence repository normally.

Then install the most recent development build like this:

yum install packetfence  --enablerepo=packetfence-devel

This will ensure you have the most recent set of dependencies.

Then move aside the /usr/local/pf directory and clone the github repo in it’s 
place (either calling it directly pf or just renaming the directory after the 
fact).

cd /usr/local/

git clone yourpfforkhere pf

Then run make devel in the new pf directory. 

At the moment, the devel build may have bugs but it should install.
We are working on 5.3 which should be out soon.
Make sur you regularly fetch updates to devel as it is a moving target.

I am running devel without pid issues at the moment.

Regards,
