Alan, Thanks for your quick response! Yes, I'm aware that apple has included FR into Leopard and am curious to see how it works in that version of the OS once I move to it eventually. However, for the Tiger users of which I'll remain for a while, I'd like to provide ease of installation via macports. Though a build-able 1.1.7 is available via macports right now, it needs a patch -- which may be a moot point now that 2.0 is here and it fixes the trouble that stripping the binaries (i.e, the INSTALLSTRIP -s switch) caused. I'll look more into the PATH setting for building against 5.10. Perhaps adding the PERL5LIB variable in my env will do the trick. Jim ___________________________________________________ James H.

2] Is perl only a build dependency for rlm_perl, or does the module make runtime calls to external perl libs?
correct. its only for rlm_perl
3] I've discovered with an install of perl 5.10 that, during configure (of freeradius 2), the linker chooses the /System/Library/5.8.6... over the new perl ( at {prefix}/lib/perl/5.10.0 ). The only thing I can guess is that when searching for perl libs/includes, the linker only expands to seek version n.n.n and does not recognize a two digit subversion n.nn.n. If that's what's happening, is that patchable?
or likely its a PATH problem and you have to tell it where your 5.10.0 is living. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/ users.html
