did you install via rpm or via source code?  if you installed
via RPM then you need some additional RPMs - freeradius-mysql
being one of them - do a 'yum search freeradius' for more info.

if you installed via source, then you need to ensure you have the
devel RPM packages installed for all bits of freeradius you need
eg openssl-devel for SSL stuff (PEAP, TLS), mysql-devel for Mysql
support to be built etc.   reading of the ./configure
output helps in this instance  (./configure | grep "WARN")
