installing freeradius error

[Doug Berman]

Thanks, Matt

I removed all instances of freerad in dpkg except for one.
 freeradius-config.  Please can you have a look at the error and advise?

Once I get rid of it, I'll build 3.0.11 from source per your advice and
will follow the instructions on the wjkie:
http://wiki.freeradius.org/building/Build

many thanks again.
