The issue wasn't "how are libraries compiled" it was "from what is this specific library supposed to be compiled." I already knew from the output of ./configure that the mysql libraries weren't found, but since I already had MySQL installed and working I wondered where freeradius was expecting those files to be. mysql-devel is the answer. Working now, thx. Google searches turn up reference to mysql-devel On 1/10/07, A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk <A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk> wrote:
Hi,
1.1.4 compiles fine and works w/o MySQL (5.0). However, when I run it with the SQL lines in radiusd.conf uncommented, I get this:
rlm_sql (sql): Could not link driver rlm_sql_mysql: rlm_sql_mysql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory rlm_sql (sql): Make sure it (and all its dependent libraries!) are in the search path of your system's ld. radiusd.conf[14]: sql: Module instantiation failed. radiusd.conf[1844] Unknown module "sql". radiusd.conf[1773] Failed to parse authorize section.
that library is on my other (RPM-installed) system, but is not anywhere on the file system of the new box (including the source dir--it isn't in the tarball).
the library is built when you compile FreeRADIUS. if its not there, then the required files were not present when you ./configure'd the freeradius source code. you should always check the output of ./configure thoroughly to see any issues. as a starter, you'll need to have mysql-devel installed for MySQL freeradius libraries to be compiled
