Thanks Matthew and Alan. I didn't know there were dockerfiles in v4.0. That's nice! I might have a look. On top of Docker, just to make it more complicated, I'm running the build process from Python and the parts that build the Docker images and run the containers is through Ansible, so that hides stdout and stderr by default. As a result I don't see the output of configure unless I run "docker build" against my dockerfile manually. I probably should have in this circumstance but as I hoped you guys pointed me in the right direction. Alan, I'm building from source and don't really want to resort to RPMs. I could I guess, but I'm used to getting messages from the mailing list about compiling from source and staying up to date rather than rely on outdated distributions roadmaps.

I am a reasonable long-time user of Freeradius on a single monolithic

but I'm setting up a new server and putting my services in containers. I have postgres in a Docker container running nicely, fully configured with my old user base migrated from MySQL. I am compiling Freeradius 3.0.15 on a separate container and hoping to use Postgres as the store. radtest with bob/hello works fine. However I realised when I tried to set up Postgres support that it fails with rlm_sql_postgresql.so not found. I'm guessing that the compile process detects database support and only builds in binding libraries if it finds that database on the same system?
It requires the PostgreSQL client libraries. See the output of "configure" for details.
Can you tell me what the requirements are that Freeradius' build process builds rlm_sql_postgresql.so for me? One that is hopefully compatible with driving Freeradius on that end but independent of Postgres on the other container? Freeradius is on a Centos 7.4 container, Postgres 10 is on Debian container.
You don't need the database on the FreeRADIUS machine. You need the postgresql client libraries: libpq
Search the RPM repositories for the right package for your system.
