I've just built 3.0.x from git using the spec file provided, however it doesn't want to load any dictionaries. I had a quick poke around with GDB: mainconfig.dictionary_dir is unset - however, if I inspect server_config[7]: (gdb) print server_config[7] $10 = {name = 0x43ee52 "dict_dir", type = 8292, offset = 0, data = 0x6577d0, dflt = 0x43ee5b} (gdb) x/s 0x43ee5b 0x43ee5b: "${prefix}/share" The branch at mainconfig.c:777 goes the wrong way, so the dictionaries systemwide dictionaries aren't touched. Setting dict_dir in radiusd.conf doesn't change this. Debug log follows for completeness, but is sadly not very interesting, other than showing 'dict_dir = "/etc/raddb"'.
