[Suspected Spam]Re: Install error

[Olavo Dietrich]

Guys,
 
let me make sure I understood your thoughts.
 
I cannot use this
<http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=64378>
freeradius-2.1.1-2.fc10 from
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=298 because my OS
is not fedora , is that right ?
 
So my only option is to use   freeradius-server-2.1.1.tar.gz  and manually
try to satisfy the dependencies from those warnings ?
 
thanks
 
Duan

Won't it be easier for you to just download the source, compile and install?

You will be chasing lot's of rpm dependencies if you don't have all your 

packages install under RHEL.

    



Compiling from source will end up chasing an equivalent list of

dependencies, as we've already seen. There is no way to avoid installing

an SQL package if you compile freeradius with SQL support, for example.



I personally find installing from packages to be a lot easier, but you

can't always do that. For instance, I am using a freeradius compiled

from source, and it was a pain to chase down all the -devel packages I

needed because all I get from the configure/compile is that some include

file wasn't found or some library file is missing. It's not always

obvious which -devel package I need.

That is why using a srpm with a spec file specific to your distribution is
your friend because it explicitly lists the *exact* set of dependencies
needed to build from the srpm. You can either let rpm-build tell you what is
missing or you can open the spec file in an editor and search for
"BuildRequires" which is where the rpm's needed to build are listed.
