Hello Alan,
Freeradius does not build from source. Yes. It does. But you are compiling some random external flavour. Download the source from freeradius.org and report what happens.
my subject line was misleading. I meant that the Debian package is so broken that it doesn't even compile from source (apt-get build-dep freeradius; apt-get source freeradius; cd freeradius-2.1.10+dfsg; debian/rules binary). I know that Freeradius compiles, I always use the following on Debian to get a version I can work with: sudo apt-get install ssh sudo gcc libssl-dev make openssl ./configure --with-openssl --prefix=/local/freeradius-server-2.2.0; make; make install I put the FreeRadius list on CC because I get technical solution from here. Cheers, Thomas
