Hi,
Notes: * The wiki glosses over a little and gives u an incorrect dir * the spec file expects 1.1.5 tar.gz
yes, that has already been noted. simply edit the spec file to use the correct value.
# tar zxvf /root/Desktop/freeradius-1.1.6.tar.gz # cp /root/Desktop/freeradius-1.1.6.tar.gz /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/freeradius-1.1.5.tar.gz # cp freeradius-1.1.6/suse/freeradius.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ # rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/freeradius.spec
just confirm that you are running SUSE or RedHat/Fedora/CentOS ?
[root@localhost src]# rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/freeradius.spec sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found
okay. no apache devel tools installed.

yep. it'll need all of these - IF you want a fully specced FreeRADIUS install. you can edit the SPEC file if you really want/need to have less features - simply edit the ./configure command etc and remove the dependencies that match those changes.
now checking yum and smart --gui I do not see apache2-devel for starters.
correct distro for the spec file? how did you check with yum?
So for the mean time I am back to compiling as rpm's are causing the issues they are famous for. If some1 has some tips on resolving dependancies I will be intrested. But I do not see what it needs apache2 headers anyway.
that'd be for the lovely FreeRADIUS apache authentication module mod_auth_radius most likely alan
