Install Freeradius in Centos7 with Perl support

[Fabian Borot]

thank you David, I just installed that and I think that it seems OK now :

this is the output of the configure command grepping for python and perl


  checking for perl... /bin/perl

checking for Py_Initialize in -lpython2.7 in /usr/lib/python2.7/config... yes


 also when I search for rlm_perl and rlm_python I see these files inside the build folder

[root at cg-mia-afapi freeradius-server-3.0.13]# find / -name rlm_perl
/usr/src/freeradius-server-3.0.13/src/modules/rlm_perl
/usr/src/freeradius-server-3.0.13/build/make/src/src/modules/rlm_perl
/usr/src/freeradius-server-3.0.13/build/objs/src/modules/rlm_perl


[root at cg-mia-afapi freeradius-server-3.0.13]# find / -name rlm_python
/usr/local/share/doc/freeradius/modules/rlm_python
/usr/src/freeradius-server-3.0.13/doc/modules/rlm_python
/usr/src/freeradius-server-3.0.13/src/modules/rlm_python
/usr/src/freeradius-server-3.0.13/build/make/src/src/modules/rlm_python
/usr/src/freeradius-server-3.0.13/build/objs/src/modules/rlm_python

I also see them in 

[root at cg-mia-afapi freeradius-server-3.0.13]# ls -la /usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_perl.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 31904 Jan 17 18:50 /usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_perl.so
[root at cg-mia-afapi freeradius-server-3.0.13]# ls -la /usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_python.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 24928 Jan 17 18:50 /usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_python.so
[root at cg-mia-afapi freeradius-server-3.0.13]#


however when I run  /usr/sbin/radiusd -X > /var/log/fb4.txt and look for perl and or python in that file I dont see any reference to them.

could it be that the 2 modules are installed now BUT by default those 2 modules need to be activated manually ? I see also that only loads modules from the ones inside "/etc/raddb/mods-enabled/" and I guess the loaded ones needed to be "added" by making a link from "/etc/raddb/mods-available/" , is that a valid statement  ?

thank you in advance

I proceedd with the regular, configure, make, make install steps but I saw a lot of warnings about messing dependencies and as I was noticing them I added them  to a yum install list, see below
 
yum install net-snmp net-snmp-utils libtalloc-devel unixODBC-devel unixODBC openssl openssl-devel perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker wireshark mysql-devel libmemcached libmemcached-devel libpcap-devel perl-devel python-devel freeradius-perl freeradius-python   freeradius-unixODBC -y
     
but I still cant get the perl module as shown below when doing the config part
