Hi, while installing RedHat ( again I suppose ).. search for any packages which contain mysql in their name.. and simply installl them all.. you will get mysql-server, mysql-client and mysql-libraries installed...after installation just type "whereis mysql" and that will give you ( when correctly installed ) the paths to mysql-libraries and header files... you should use those directories when running ./configure ( of freeradius )... sometimes ./configure will look for mysql it self ( of course in default paths ), but you may want to tell the configure script where your mysql libs are.. just like marco wrote ! If you want to test mysql-client, you will need a server too... but when properly installed - there is no need of testing it...

Let me try to start all over again, I will do: 1. Install Red Hat 2. Install MySQL Client 3. Test MySQL Clint (How?) 4. Install FreeRadius 5. Allow use of SQL in config 6. Run radiusd -X 7.
