Compiling from source

[Tim McNabb]

I can actually build just fine, and get FR to run and process the requests. I guess what I'm trying to do is maintain the installation structure as the HOWTO's generally show on the interwebs, while also enabling the features that I enjoy using through CentOS such as the service command :) Running CentOS 5.5 if that helps.

Actually FR is one of the easiest compiles on linux I have ever seen!  The trick is to make sure you have all the necessary DEV packages installed.  I haven't compiled from source in a bit but I know in other programs you have to have the correct DEV package architecture, IE: even though you may be running a 64 bit OS the build may REQUIRE the 32 bit dev package.

I do not remember if FreeRADIUS does this or not but is has been a pain for me in the past when building other software, so if your build is failing on a req that you KNOW you have installed check to see if the dev package is installed and if it is the correct architecture.

Thanks for the input Gary. I gave it a dry run a couple days ago, installing radiusd and rc.radiusd to /etc/rc.d/init.d will cause it to run at startup but I want to have more simplistic control over the service if possible. Obviously installing to sbin will give you control regardless of directory location, however the service command doesn't give you access, at least not that I've found (ex. Root#]service radiusd OPTION]). If someone has found a workaround for this, that would be fantastic. I know about enough Linux to be dangerous, though definitely having fun working on this and learning new things. ;-)

I just compiled / installed 2.1.10 on RHEL yesterday, zero problems.  I don't know about Chkconfig - I'm just testing it so launched it manually.

Has anyone been successful in installing FreeRADIUS 2.1.10 from src on CentOS or RHEL? I'd prefer not to use the package manager for installation as I'm attempting to install a custom module and the directory tree from the repo install doesn't match the source module setup. I know this is normal for using Yum, just wondering if anyone has been successful installing from src on CentOS and what worked and what didn't. Chkconfig doesn't seem to working on a src install either and I want radiusd to run as a service.

Thanks in advance,
