Hi folks, When building FreeRADIUS 3.0.14 from source on a CentOS 7 system, it throws the following error: [jg4461@build-el7 rpmbuild]$ rpmbuild -ba --sign SPECS/freeradius-3.0.14.spec ... ... + /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot ******************************************************************************* * * WARNING: 'check-rpaths' detected a broken RPATH and will cause 'rpmbuild' * to fail.

It looks like there are hardcoded library paths in several .so objects that need updating. I should note that it has done this for previous versions too, but I never got round to posting about it. I'll use the workaround for now but it would be super if this could be fixed before the next release, so a more durable RPM can be built.
