  So (a) yes, a library was broken.  And (b), "make" didn't crash.  Compilation failed.

  i.e. your local system was broken.

  This kind of thing happens when you use a distribution that is wildly out of date, and then try to build newer software on it.

  The solution (for everyone else reading) is don't use CentOS 6.  Or, if you do, use pre-built packages available at http://packages.networkradius.com

  The problem here was arguing over and over and over again about the error and the solution.  There were simple fixes which weren't used.
