My guess is that ./configure detects radius libraries but can't get it working (perhaps non-compatible libraries are installed?) What radius library have you installed on this system?
I have this version of the library radiusclient.h,v 1.9 2002/11/13 18:19:26
That wasn't really what I was looking for. I need to know what package (and it's version) you got radius from. If from tarball please state download link. Unfortunatly nagios-plugins does not work will all radius libraries.
I really don't know! Can you offer any hints as to what package may have installed the radius library? BTW, I would just assume disable it. I tried renaming it, LOL, but that didn't work. BTW, I saw the followinw constant in the config.h file: <<<snip>>> /* Define to 1 if you have the `radiusclient' library (-lradiusclient). */ #define HAVE_LIBRADIUSCLIENT 1 <<snip>> Is there any way I can have this set to "0" in the ebuild? I would just prefer to disable this feature. Thanks!
I have some additional info regarding the radius client that is causing this problem. It seems that PPP installs support for radius even if you don't want or need it :-( The ebuild in net-dialup/ppp for version 2.4.2-r2 automatically compiles support for it and doesn't seem to give you any option of disabling this at emerge time :-( If you unmerge ppp and emerge nagios-plugins all will be ok. you will then need to emerge ppp if you really need it.
This is not really a bug with nagios-plugins. Maybe a local use flag for "radius" would be nice, but otherwise there is nothing else wrong. This is bad bad behavior on the part of the net-dialup/ppp ebuild. Heinrich introduced a "make install" in the radius client library for ppp in ppp-2.4.2_beta3-r1. This is not right! The radius client library is only packaged with ppp so that it can LINK STATICALLY. I'm not sure, but this might have been a fix to address Bug 38550. However, installing the radius plugin and the radius client library are two different things. The radius client library is a separate package that should have its own ebuild if we really want it installed. Indeed there are already 2 other radius libraries with ebuilds available. ppp itself should not be installing a radius client. The lines: cd radiusclient make DESTDIR=${D} install || die in ppp-2.4.2-r2.ebuild need to be removed (in my opinion). I added Heinrich to the CC. I will gladly take care of these two suggestions if the maintainers would like me to. Scott and Richard, thank you for doing the research on this!
removing the header files makes nagios-plungins compile again ...
I've removed the radius portion in the configure script in 1.3.1-r1. This is due to the fact that freeradius does not build with nagios-plugins, ppp breaks it, and cistronradius doesn't supply libraries at all. Cory, please file a bug against ppp if you see it to be appropriate.
IMO there should really be a USE flag for applying that 'noradius' patch. I just spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out why Nagios wasn't building check_radius only to find out that there's a patch applied to nagios-plugins which explicitly disabled the support. I agree that there's probably some issue with the ppp package (which I didn't have installed, and I *did* have the radiusclient package installed), but it'd be nice to be able to have the USE flag there. Perhaps throw some einfo lines up to let the user know about the ppp problems. Also, it'd be nice to add check_radius into the Summary of this bug. As it stands it's not very informative for people searching around.
