rpm -Uvh freeradius-2.1.1-6.fc10.src.rpm

cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/SPECS

rpmbuild -bb freeradius.spec

We followed the instructions on a CentOS 5.3 box but after running

"rpm -Uvh freeradius-2.1.1-6.fc10.src.rpm"

we had to

"cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS"

to get to the freeradius.spec file.

When we ran

"rpm build -bb freeradius.spec"

it created 12 rpms instead of the 4 that are listed in the howto. It does not explain if we are supposed to do anything with the other rpms.

The information is not useable.

Dear, Mr Incomplete.

You, sir, are in for a big suprize if you are new to the linux world, and you expect things to go EXACTLY as planned. So there was a typo in the posting, BFD, that does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the value of the post. If you would have simply ran "updatedb" then "locate freeradius.spec" you would have found it.  And it created 12 RPMS instead of 4! Oh no! You ungreatful jackass, all that means is you can choose to install the other packages _IF_ you need those options. The aricle and information is extremely useful, even if they didnt hold your freaking hand the whole time. Use your own head a little, and you would have been fine.

Thank you for providing a great example of the bone-headedness of some linux users.

 When the instructions aren't right, that would be a problem.  Linux being a world of powerful command-line, a single character typo can be a big deal, right?  Much less part of the commands being missing.
