help on OpenSUSE installation

[mx5450]

Team,

I'm trying to set up freeradius 2.1.4 in a AMD 64 X2 system with an OpenSUSE 11.1 (x86_64.iso) OS.

I must tell you that I'm new to Linux and Freeradius.

According to the instructions on freeradius.org/radiusd/install I can either:

1. Get a pre-installed binary package (Peter Nixon)
2. get the FreeRADIUS tarball


When I try to get the binary package (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/aaa/openSUSE_11.1/), I get a list of files/folders which I dont know what to do with them:

i586/
network:aaa.repo
repodata/
src/
x86_64/

As I got stuck, I tried to "build it" (? new term to me), by placing the tarball in usr/src/packages/SOURCES; extracting the freeradius.spec and placing it in usr/src/packages/SPECS. Then I run from the terminal prompt:

rpmbuild -ba usr/src/packages/SPECS/ freeradius.spec

However I got the message:

I read about this and regarding the dependencies it seems that some "features" are not installed and that I need the OpenSUSE disk to load them from the YAST.

However I can not seem to find what the "sh: apxs2-prefork: command not found" message is about or how to fix that.

I'm stuck again.

Could you help with this?

Thanks in advance
