3.0.13 is very old. I recommend you use the packages from 
http://packages.networkradius.com/

If you're just starting out, you would be good to start on a recent OS, 
as well.

The daemon is already running. You can't start a second one.

Stop the running daemon first:

   service radiusd stop

then you can run in debug mode.

eduroam uses EAP, you can't test with radtest. Use eapol_test from the 
wpa_supplicant project.

As you are SP only you will need a test account on another eduroam 
system, "bob" won't work. Tour national proxy provider should provide this.
