I wish what you said was true. I see that in Make.inc sysconfdir is set to /etc. Great. The problem is when I run radius -X after installing. It says it is looking for the config files in /usr/local/etc/raddb. I can use radiusd -Xd /etc/raddb and things work fine. The problem is making radiusd look in the right place without using the -d setting. # radiusd -X FreeRADIUS Version 2.0.5, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Aug 25 2008 at 12:08:03 Copyright (C) 1999-2008 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.

I have deleted all the files and reextracted them and still have this problem. I can see in the make install output that It is trying to install the configuration files in the /etc/raddb and warns me that there are files there that are old then it's new ones. That�s good for that step but wherever before that when it is compiling radius it seems to be missing using the variable --sysconfdir='/etc'.
I have no idea what that means.
Go read the top Make.inc. It has a definition in there for sysconfdir. That's used for the build. There's no magic here.
