Different Installation paths between source and yum giving error of missing directory

Please pardon me if this has been addressed before; my search on the site has not helped me solve my problem. I installed freeradius 2.1.10 from source and the raddb folder was put in /usr/local/etc whereas yum put it in /etc. I deleted the files in /usr/local/etc/ and used yum to install but i get an error that /usr/local/etc/raddb cannot be found when I run radiusd -X. Where is radiusd picking that path from ? Thanks for your help Samuel
