Building freeradius from source

Hi, Am trying to compile freeradius (freeradius-server-2.1.10) for my own distro (based on 2.6.32 kernel from kernel.org) and running into compilation errors. : libtool: link: `rlm_eap_md5.lo' is not a valid libtool object gmake[9]: *** [rlm_eap_md5.la] Error 1 Please let me know a way to fix this. Also, radiusd seems to be pulling in many shared libraries. Do I need to compile them from source myself or are there any short cuts (if someone has tried this before) ? I know compiling it for Fedora or a similar distro is easier but unfortunately that won't help me. Note that I just need simple password (cleartext) based authentication leaving out the crypto stuff. Thanks, Nirmal
