I assume that you are referring to a build from source as opposed to an rpmbuild from source? If that's the case you would want to review this: http://wiki.freeradius.org/Build#Building_RedHat_packages -Ted- Olavo wrote:
Hi all,
I am posting this so it can save some headaches for other people in the future.
I've been trying to install FR on a 64 bits OS for a while. First I tried RH 5.2 and I got the following errors
/usr/bin/libtool --mode=link gcc -o radmin
radmin.lo /usr/lib/libreadline.so /usr/lib64/libtermcap.so /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/freeradius-2.1.1/src/lib/libfreeradius-
radius.la
util.lo log.lo conffile.lo -lnsl -lresolv -lpthread -lreadline -ltermcap gcc -o .libs/radmin .libs/radmin.o
/usr/lib/libreadline.so
/usr/lib64/libtermcap.so .libs/util.o .libs/log.o .libs/conffile.o /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/freeradius-2.1.1/src/lib/.libs/libfreer
adius-radi
us.s o -lnsl -lresolv -lpthread -lreadline -ltermcap /usr/lib/libreadline.so: could not read symbols: File in
wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[4]: *** [radmin] Error 1
Then I move on to CentOs since Greg Woods informed that he is using it without any grief.
When I was making it on CentOS I got the exactly same errors above. Then I tried to install on Fedora 10 and it installed smoothly. After playing with Fedora for some time I realized that it is too slow compared to CentOS or RH and I decided to move back to CentOS and find a way to properly install it.
The clue to fix the problem was provided by Greg when he said that the FR included with CentOS was too old. When I installed the first time I didn't realized that there is a FR 1.13 version on CentOS so I didn't installed along with the OS.
This time I selected 1.13 version and it was installed normally.
Then I downloaded version FR 2.1 and it installed smoothly. Now I have
radiusd -v radiusd: FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.1, for host x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, built on Nov 28 2008 at 23:06:41
I read somewhere in the site that this is not the recommended way to do it and that 2.1 should be installed in a different location.
If someone could comment about any problems that can arise it will be appreciated.
Thanks
Jair Santos

I am using it on CentOS 5.2 x86_64. The freeradius package that comes with CentOS 5 is old though, I compiled freeradius from source.
