How to build FreeRadius 3.0.2 from source on Ubuntu 13.10

Here is how to build FreeRadius 3.0.2 from source.

Download the source code from http://freeradius.org/ and build it.

Before building freeradius, install openssl libraries which are required to build radius.

# apt-get install libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev

build freeradius

# tar xzvf freeradius-server-3.0.2.tar.gz

# cd freeradius-server-3.0.2

nn, error

# ./configure

configure: WARNING: talloc headers not found. Use --with-talloc-include-dir=<path>.

configure: error: FreeRADIUS requires libtalloc

# apt-get install libtalloc-dev -y

# ./configure

# make

# make install

Okay, I was able to build radius.

# which radiusd

/usr/local/sbin/radiusd

# /usr/local/sbin/radiusd -v
