edit the spec file to ensure that MySQL is used. ensure that you have
all the correct devel RPMs installed for FreeRADIUS to build.

the easiest way is to just do a straight

./configure --with-options --that-you-need

then a 

make

and see what fails, WARNS or ERRORs - if its all gone well, then you're
system is in a sane state to compile the RPM.
