Guys, let me make sure I understood your thoughts. I cannot use this <http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=64378> freeradius-2.1.1-2.fc10 from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=298 because my OS is not fedora , is that right ? So my only option is to use freeradius-server-2.1.1.tar.gz and manually try to satisfy the dependencies from those warnings ? thanks Duan

You will be chasing lot's of rpm dependencies if you don't have all your packages install under RHEL. Compiling from source will end up chasing an equivalent list of dependencies, as we've already seen. There is no way to avoid installing an SQL package if you compile freeradius with SQL support, for example. I personally find installing from packages to be a lot easier, but you can't always do that. For instance, I am using a freeradius compiled from source, and it was a pain to chase down all the -devel packages I needed because all I get from the configure/compile is that some include file wasn't found or some library file is missing. It's not always obvious which -devel package I need. That is why using a srpm with a spec file specific to your distribution is your friend because it explicitly lists the *exact* set of dependencies needed to build from the srpm. You can either let rpm-build tell you what is missing or you can open the spec file in an editor and search for "BuildRequires" which is where the rpm's needed to build are listed. -- John Dennis <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
