I tried to use Suse for freeRADIUS installation and it didn't work. It has some exceptions and I wasn't able to find a work around. I'd suggest CentOS 5.2 or Ubuntu (last server version). They work fine wich freeRADIUS. regards, Bruno 2009/5/12 mx5450 <mx5450@prodigy.net.mx> Team, I'm trying to set up freeradius 2.1.4 in a AMD 64 X2 system with an OpenSUSE 11.1 (x86_64.iso) OS. I must tell you that I'm new to Linux and Freeradius. According to the instructions on freeradius.org/radiusd/install I can either: 1. Get a pre-installed binary package (Peter Nixon) 2. get the FreeRADIUS tarball When I try to get the binary package (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/aaa/openSUSE_11.1/), I get a list of files/folders which I dont know what to do with them: i586/ network:aaa.repo repodata/ src/ x86_64/ As I got stuck, I tried to "build it" (? new term to me), by placing the tarball in usr/src/packages/SOURCES; extracting the freeradius.spec and placing it in usr/src/packages/SPECS. Then I run from the terminal prompt: rpmbuild -ba usr/src/packages/SPECS/ freeradius.spec However I got the message: marcos@win-219e0010bba:~> rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/freeradius.spec sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found error: Failed build dependencies: db-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 e2fsprogs-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 gcc-c++ is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 gdbm-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 gettext-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 glibc-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 libtool is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 ncurses-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 openldap2-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 openssl-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 pam-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 postgresql-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 python-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 unixODBC-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 zlib-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 apache2-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 cyrus-sasl-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 krb5-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 libapr1-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 libmysqlclient-devel is needed by freeradius-server-2.1.4-0.x86_64 marcos@win-219e0010bba:~> I read about this and regarding the dependencies it seems that some "features" are not installed and that I need the OpenSUSE disk to load them from the YAST. However I can not seem to find what the "sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found" message is about or how to fix that. I'm stuck again. Could you help with this?
