  You have configured raddb/sql.conf to set "readclients = yes".  This
is NOT enabled in the default configuration.

  Comment that line out, and the server will start.

  Which means you did NOT create the nas table defined in
sql/mysql/nas.sql.  That table is NOT added by default, because
"readclients = yes" is NOT enabled by default.

  Yes... that's what it says.

  You are not running "radiusd -X", as suggested in the FAQ, README,
INSTALL, "man" page, and Wiki.
