I have now after a lot of reading and searching managed to configure my freeradius server to my needs(auth for wireless hotspot) however a required libary module "rlm_sqlcounter.so" has not been installed with the RPM used to install. System info: fedoracore 5 fedoracore RPM freeradius-1.0.5 fedoracore RPM freeradius_sql-1.0.5 now after modyfiyng all the config files as required to authenticate using a mysql db all test work, then after making the final config changes to use the module rlm_sqlcounter to support the time limits the folowing shows in my radiusd.log "Error: radiusd.conf[1] Failed to link to module 'rlm_sqlcounter': rlm_sqlcounter.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" So after finding the dir where radiusd looks for it's library modules rlm_sqlcounter.so was not there, all the other rlm_sql.so were so after a few mor hours googling found that i needed to make the file so i downloaded the sorce code for ver 1.0.5 from freeradius.org found the rlm_sqlcounter folder containing the files needed to make the .so file. however am having problems doing so. What i am doing is: ./configure also tryed sh configure make make install as described in a email found in the archive of this list. Here are the responses i received: # sh configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH Any help will be gratefully received as this is slowly moving from a fun challenge to a annoying task.
