Hi Paul,

I've been running Freeradius with Mandrake 10.1 and Mandriva 2006 for
over a year now. I always compile from the tar files and the only
problem I ever had was forgetting to install the MySQL development
extensions. I'd recommend that you use the tar files instead of the RPM.
I've written a short tutorial that will help you at
