Likewise we have CentOS 5.2 servers, but have rebuilt FR 5.0.1 from the
source RPM from a Fedora 10 mirror. For that just comment out the
'perl-devel' from the spec file, run 'rpmbuild -ba freeradius.spec',
then install the 'freeradius', 'freeradius-libs' and 'freeradius-utils'
RPMs. It works fine.

Re: FR on CentOS 5 via yum?
CentOS 5.1 also cames with 1.1.3. (I posted this on FreeRadius Wiki. ) So it is good idea to upgrade...

I have recently built the Fedora 2.0.5-1 src.rpm on RHEL4, so it will
probably also build ok on RHEL5.
For RHEL4 I had to comment out the following lines in the spec file:
BuildRequires: libtool-ltdl-devel
BuildRequires: perl-devel
Furthermore, comment out the first line of %post ("chown ..."), as this
is a bug and will be removed in the next Fedora RPM.

However, you should be able to build a current Fedora RPM on a centos (e.g. RHEL) OS. You can find the fedora source rpm's on Koji http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji The most recent Fedora 9 version is here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=53909 Download the source rpm (filename ends with .src.rpm) Install the src rpm % rpm -ihv freeradius-XXX.src.rpm Then build the src rpm with rpmbuild % rpmbuild -ba XXX/freeradius.spec Then install the resulting binary rpm's NOTE: The Fedora src rpms's were never meant to build on RHEL (centos), you may encounter build problems as a consequence. YMMV, you're on your own :-) -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
