they (libraries) are available for SLES - they are standard libraries
and headers- they just need to be installed.  to install freeradius
from source you will need the GCC compiler installed, make, automake, autoconf,
openssl-devel, etc.  basically, if you do the ./configure method, then
just grep the output for warnings...eg

./configure | grep WARN

you will see what it cannot find to make certain parts - so include
the required devel parts . if you dont want/need eg IKEv2 then dont worry.
if you want to SNMP of sniff etc, then install net-snmp packages (and
development libraries) and lib-pcap respectively.

alternatively, FreeRADIUS source comes with a SUSE .spec file for building with the rpmbuild system. use that.  post any errors to the list, other SUSE
folk can help you with this...
