Hi, several folk run FreeRADIUS on MacOSX already - and Apple even have added code themselves - I believe FR is the fundamental EAP system in eg latest airport/timecapsule product (though I may be wrong on that aspect of usage! ;-) )
2] Is perl only a build dependency for rlm_perl, or does the module make runtime calls to external perl libs?
correct. its only for rlm_perl
3] I've discovered with an install of perl 5.10 that, during configure (of freeradius 2), the linker chooses the /System/Library/5.8.6... over the new perl ( at {prefix}/lib/perl/5.10.0 ). The only thing I can guess is that when searching for perl libs/includes, the linker only expands to seek version n.n.n and does not recognize a two digit subversion n.nn.n. If that's what's happening, is that patchable?
or likely its a PATH problem and you have to tell it where your 5.10.0 is living. alan
