How do I install or upgrade to freeradius version 3.0.9 on Linux Ubuntu 14.04

Ok, when they fail, is there a message? On Ubuntu, run `/usr/sbin/freeradius -X` and see what the error is that it gives you.

I'd suggest that you spin your own packages by using the Debian instructions. Get yourself a VM you can discard eventually to build on (so your actual FR environment stays clean). Matthew Newton on this list has this lovely set of instructions on how to:

http://notes.asd.me.uk/2012/01/27/compiling_freeradius_from_git_on_debian/

After that's done, copy the .DEB files off your build VM to the machine you're installing FR on, then install the .DEB files with apt-get.

If you're not sure about the error, capture the output of the freeradius -X command and post the whole shebang on here; it's easier to figure out why things don't work then. :-)
