You are still running the radiusd you installed from source (which has that
part hard-coded into it)

rm /usr/local/sbin/radiusd

-- and also any other bits put into /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin by
-- your source install

You may need to logout/login again for your shell to realise that it should
look for a radiusd in another directory.
