Yuck. That's definitely non standard, and a big source of the problem. > binaries are under /bin, and other directories may be present depending > on the package.

Do: $ cd src/modules/rlm_ldap/ $ ./configure --help And you should get some help text.

It's a rare situation, and one due to local misconfiguration, in my personal opinion. We've had other posts saying: "But I installed the libraries in /opt/stuff/january/package/version/new/lib, and FreeRADIUS couldn't find them. What's wrong with it?" The response then, as now, is "don't do that." If all else fails, you can do: $ CPPFLAGS="-I /weird/stuff" $ CFLAGS="-I /other/weird/stuff" $ LDFLAGS="-L/even/weirder/stuff -llib" $ export CPPFLAGS CFLAGS LDFLAGS $ ./configure and it will work. 'configure' is designed to do that. So you have multiple options to get FreeRADIUS working on your system, and none involve patches or changes to FreeRADIUS.
