I am trying to install freeradius from source and cannot seem to get it to install correctly.

1.  I am installing on a centos 4.5 box and would like freeradius to install the config file in the correct place (i.e. /etc/raddb) setting the prefix=’’ ( or sysconfdir=’/etc/raddb’) in the configure script does not tell the radiusd executable to look  in /etc/raddb for its configuration files. It still looks in /usr/local/etc/raddb

2. The configure script cannot find the libgdbm library and thus cannot configure some of the rlm_modules.  I have tried setting the --with-rlm-counter-lib-dir='/usr/lib' which is where the gdbm library is looked to get rlm_couter to configure but it still fails.

3. I says it can’t locate check-radiusd-config … I wish I knew where it was looking.

Here is the configure command I last used with the error output received.

./configure --prefix=''  --exec-prefix='/usr' --includedir='/usr/include' --datadir='/usr/share' --libdir='/usr/lib' --sysconfdir='/etc/raddb'  --with-rlm-counter-lib-dir='/usr/lib' -q
