Hello,

I'm trying to compile a Mandrake 10.1 RPM for Freeradius-1.1.1 using the redhat .specfile, and it gets all the way to the end and then spits out:

ln: creating symbolic link `/tmp/freeradius-root/usr/lib/libradius-1.1.1.la' to `libradius.la': No such file or directory

It is correct; the /tmp/freeradius-root/usr/lib directory is simply not there. When I look at /tmp/freeradius-root/usr, I see the following:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 00:12 bin/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 94141 Apr 27 00:12 libradius-1.1.1.so* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103052 Apr 27 00:12 libradius.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 814 Apr 27 00:12 libradius.la* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Apr 27 00:12 libradius.so -> libradius-1.1.1.so* drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 00:12 sbin/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 27 00:12 share/

No ./lib/ directory. Anybody have any ideas that runs Freeradius under Mandrake or might've done this already?

Paul

Hi Paul, I've been running Freeradius with Mandrake 10.1 and Mandriva 2006 for over a year now. I always compile from the tar files and the only problem I ever had was forgetting to install the MySQL development extensions. I'd recommend that you use the tar files instead of the RPM.
