Alan, I understand and I am really gratefull for all the work you guys have done in this project. Please understand that when we, as users, go to a site to download a program, the site structure and distribution of information is completely new. We , (I) try to understand it but we have no time to read everything. I believe that this is normal and yes , we make mistakes. Don't you ? So please, don't try to give us (me) lessons about how to look for information. I am an old guy and I stiil need much more time to learn new things . I don't need one more person to criticise my mistakes or laziness to read a 200 pages web site in order to understand the whole picture. You are guessing too much and you are guessing wrong. Yes I did click on the link 2.1.1 on the main web page. That was the first thing I did. These files didn't compile. It was NOT because the linker on my system chooses the wrong libs as you can see from the log. There is another reason and I don't know it. configure:21137: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS conftest.c -lnsl -lresolv -lpthread -lreadline

I am still trying to make this work and I thank very much all of you who are helping me out. Jair Santos

Well guys, let's clarify.
You didn't click on the link for 2.1.1 on the main web page: freeradius.org. Instead, you clicked on the "download" link. You didn't click on the "tar" file link for 2.1.1 on that page, either. You didn't click on the "git.freeradius.org" link for the new server source. Instead, you followed the instructions for "other projects".
And when you're wandering around the net looking for why there are issues with SNMP, you don't read the "changelog" in the most recent version.
Honestly... there *is* a lot of effort put into documenting the server. Yet sometimes people put a lot of effort into *ignoring* that documentation. They look everywhere else *but* the main web page... and the files that come with the server.
Can you explain why? I've never been able to understand it.
I have no control about the files that are there. I would like to have the latest version, that is AFAIK 2.1.1.
Which is available from the links above.
The point is that when I tried to download from www.freeradius.org it didn't compile for my Read Hat ES version 5.2, 64 bits.
Because your system has both 32-bit && 64-bit libraries. When the build system asks to link to a library, the linker on your system chooses the wrong one... and then complains. Nice!
I'll be really grateful if someone could tell exacly where I can download v 2.1.1 from that will work for my linux distribution.
If you look at the main "download" page, there's a link to pre-built binaries for Fedora. There's even an x86_64 link, which has RPM's for an older version (2.0.5)
