Ok, I just tested that mysql client is working… gladly the commands here are the same as on windows…. And its as appears installed by default in Red hat…

Now what folders does Free Radius needs to work with MySQl, because when I did whereis mysql I got only “bin” and “lib” folder?

Hi,

while installing RedHat ( again I suppose ).. search for any packages which contain mysql in their name.. and simply installl them all.. you will get mysql-server, mysql-client and mysql-libraries installed...after installation just type “whereis mysql” and that will give you ( when correctly installed ) the paths to mysql-libraries and header files... you should use those directories when running

./configure ( of freeradius )... sometimes ./configure will look for mysql it self ( of course in default paths ), but you may want to tell the configure script where your mysql libs are.. just like marco wrote !

If you want to test mysql-client, you will need a server too... but when properly installed – there is no need of testing it...

Regards,

Edvin Seferovic

I tried that but it doesn’t work L what can I do?

Let me try to start all over again, I will do:

Install Red Hat
Install MySQL Client
Test MySQL Clint (How?)
Install FreeRadius
Allow use of SQL in config
Run radiusd –X
It wont work so I’ll be screwed again

Is that correct? Or any other suggestions, cause this my sql feature is driving me crazy…. Im a windows engineer and lot linux L

Hi,

For example the following line tells you that during installation the header files weren't found

sql_mysql.c:40:19: mysql.h: No such file or directory

If you have installed mysql you have to tell the configure script, where the mysql

- include

- library

- and the mysql programm

on you box "lives"

look at

./configure --help

for more information.

it could look like (change to your environment!!!):

./configure --with-mysql-include-dir=<PATH to mysql include-dir> --with-mysql-lib-dir=<PATH to mysql-lib dir> --with-mysql-dir=<PATH to mysql-dir>
