This is *not a bug*. This is a lack of your understanding how open 
source tools work. In your original post you suggested the configure 
script should go out and install any missing libraries. This indicates 
you have a lack of understanding of how the tools work. This is the most 
likely reason people didn't respond to your first query. It's your 
responsibility to invest the time to learn this material. The FreeRADIUS 
list is not the place to learn how GNU autotools works, how packages are 
distributed, what build dependencies are, how they are resolved, etc. 
There are plenty of places on the web to learn this material. The 
FreeRADIUS list exits to help users configure and deploy FreeRADIUS, it 
presumes you come to the table with a set of prerequisite knowledge.

Since you are using CentOS the information contained on this wiki would 
have been of great help to you, did you read it?

http://wiki.freeradius.org/Red_Hat_FAQ

It won't have answered all the information you need, but it would have 
helped you get started in the right direction. If you had read it you 
might also have learned you didn't need to go through the agony of 
trying to build FreeRADIUS yourself, you could have just installed the 
pre-built packages we've already provided. You would have also learned 
how using yum as the installer will guarantee prerequisite dependencies 
are resolved thus relieving you of yet another stumbling block.
