what exactly is the problem? do you need to build it rather
than just use the rebuilt FC4 RPM packaged version? 
to build it yourself, its pretty much that normal
tar -xzvf freeradius-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd freeradius-directory-just-created
./configure --with-options-you-need-or-dont-need
make
make install

if it fails at the ./configure stage then you need to read
the verbose output to see why it failed - which is normally
due to a myriad of package-devel RPMs that havent been installed
yet because you've never needed them before.
