yes, that has already been noted. simply edit the spec file
to use the correct value.

just confirm that you are running SUSE or RedHat/Fedora/CentOS ?

okay. no apache devel tools installed.

yep. it'll need all of these - IF you want a fully specced FreeRADIUS
install. you can edit the SPEC file if you really want/need
to have less features - simply edit the ./configure command etc and
remove the dependencies that match those changes.

correct distro for the spec file?
how did you check with yum?

that'd be for the lovely FreeRADIUS apache authentication module mod_auth_radius most likely
