Encountering error when using "radius -X"

[kartik dadwal]

Hi Fabien,

I will try to follow your method. Can you tell me how to get rid on the
installation process that I have already done for freeradius?
So that I can re-install it using other ways.

I am a newbie so next question sound a little stupid but please still answer
it.
when you say 'radius binary .deb package', does '.deb' belongs to debian? I
have ubuntu (I know ubuntu is a spun off from debian!). The only other way I
know for installing something on my ubuntu us using "synaptic package
manager". Do you mean to say I can search for freeradius on synaptic manager
and install it from there as it takes care of all the dpendencies?

Thank you so much for your help!
