  At no point did I say anything which could be interpreted as "buy support".

  What I meant was that the scripts in the redhat/ directory work.  We use them *daily* to build RPM packages.

  You can type "rpm" into the Wiki search bar.  The first link there is extensive instructions for building on RedHat.  Since Oracle Linux is based on RedHat, the instructions should work.

  There's even a link to SRPMs

 For now, do:

$ tar -zxf freeradius-server-3.2.3.tar.bz2
$ cd  freeradius-server-3.2.3
$ cp ../freeradius-server-3.2.3.tar.bz2 .
$ make rpm

  That should work.
