I’m trying to follow these instructions with the exception of having openssl already installed via macports. I can successfully install talloc and freeradius like so:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/talloc --without-gettext && make && sudo make install

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freeradius --localstatedir=/var --with-talloc-lib-dir=/usr/local/talloc/lib/ --with-talloc-include-dir=/usr/local/talloc/include/ --with-openssl-lib-dir=/opt/local/lib --with-openssl-include-dir=/opt/local/include/ --enable-developer=yes && make && sudo make install

However, executing radiusd -XC gives error:

dyld: Library not loaded: /Users/admin/src/talloc-2.1.14/bin/default/libtalloc.inst.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/freeradius/sbin/radiusd

Looks like freeradius is linking against talloc library in the source code directory instead of /usr/local/talloc. I wonder why?
