Building & Installing on Red Hat Systems (Was: Make error - Solved)

[J Santos]

Thank you Dennis,

It is a very, very useful document.

Checking both distros RHEL and CentOS there are only old packages available
(version 1.1.3) and only i386. 

I have a rpm already built but  it is not properly working. 

Based on what you described in the doc I better install the old version and
then


 yum upgrade freeradius
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.voxitas.com
 * updates: ftp.telus.net
 * addons: mirrors.cat.pdx.edu
 * extras: yum.singlehop.com
Setting up Upgrade Process
Could not find update match for freeradius
No Packages marked for Update

As you can see there is no update available.

So I am in the worst situation and have no choice other that rpmbuild. I am
on CentOS 64 and I need Mysql.

The link you have provided in the doc is for fedora only.

Could you please inform from where I can get the spec file for CentOS 64
with MySql ?

regards

Jair Santos
