(RADIATOR) Reinstalling Radiator

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Paul -

I generally recommend using the source tarball like this (you can use 
whatever directories you wish):

	mkdir /usr/local/src/Radiator
	cp /tmp/Radiator-3.6-tgz /usr/local/src/Radiator
	cd /usr/local/src/Radiator
	gzip -c -d Radiator-3.6.tgz | tar xvf -
	cd Radiator-3.6
	perl Makefile.PL
	make
	make test
	*** DO NOT DO make intstall ***

Then you can use a "cd ...." in your startup script:

	cd /usr/local/src/Radiator/Radiator-3.6; perl radiusd -config_file 
.....

This way you can keep multiple different versions of Radiator in a neat 
and tidy fashion and switch between them simply by changing a single 
entry in the startup script.

BTW - we have had various people report problems with Perl 5.8, and 
there is a Redhat FAQ item here:

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
