  You can do "make" to build everything, and then only install the modules that you need.

  What else do you mean by "selective compilation"?

  The dictionaries may be using memory.  You can update the configuration to load only the dictionaries that you need.  That may help.

  Otherwise, you selectively remove features by editing src/include/radiusd.h.  Comment out the features you don't need, and re-build.  e.g. WITH_ACCOUNTING, WITH_COA, etc.

  What does that mean?  The server *does* produce errors if something goes wrong.

  Also, the default build works.  So what did you change?
