I took my radius directories to another machine and tried the same build, and it had
no problem seeing picking the libraries from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. So there is something
missing in the OS (a patch maybe?) from that Solaris machine.
But on the second machine, although it found then libraries OK, it had the following
problem:
# make dbm
gcc -traditional -O -Dsys5 -o radiusd.dbm radiusd.o dict.o usersdbm.o util.o md5.o attrprint.o acct.o versiondbm.o -ldbm -lnsl -lsocket
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
bzero /usr/ucblib/libdbm.a(dbm.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to radiusd.dbm
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `radiusd.dbm'
#
So there is obviously something wrong with the library. Is there a patch for this,
or some other fix?
Thanks in advance,
John
