ah.... but this is LEAP I am testing, which does not require OPENSSL support.
In wiki page, http://wiki.freeradius.org/Rlm_eap

=======

INSTALLATION

EAP, EAP-MD5, and Cisco LEAP do not require any additional packages. FreeRADIUS contains all the required packages.

For EAP-TLS, OPENSSL is required to be installed. Any version from 0.9.7, should fairly work with this module.

=======

Which seems to suggest that OPENSSL is not required for LEAP.

I appreciate the feedback, I am actually looking for exactly what you have pointed out:
>> if the former, then instaleld the openssl-devel or ssl-dev packages (name depends
on distro) and rebuild. 


Thanks,
David

you built the FreeRADIUS yourself - or installed via a package manager?  if
the former, then instaleld the openssl-devel or ssl-dev packages (name depends
on distro) and rebuild.   if the latter - then ensure you have the required
OpenSSL support version or extra bits  (some distros split it into umpteen bits)
