Make error - Solved

[Olavo]

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-

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
