Hello Friends,
I am trying to install free radius on a old linux machine. the configuration is as fillows

[root@localhost freeradius-server-2.1.10]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost freeradius-server-2.1.10]# whereis python
python: /usr/bin/python2.2 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.2 /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/bin/python2.7-config /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/lib/python2.7 /usr/include/python2.2 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz
[root@localhost freeradius-server-2.1.10]#


While compiling the server i get following errors
root/vijay/freeradius-server-2.1.10/src/freeradius-devel/modules.h:12: warning: `used' attribute ignored

By default i had python2.2 installed in my linux PC under the path "/usr/bin/python2.2", in the mailing list somebody replied that new version of python is required, so I installed Python2.7.1. but in "/usr/bin" i can't see python2.7.1

Please let me know how can i fix this error and install the Radius server successfully.

Thanks and Regards,
Vijay S.

I changed the Makefile in rlm_python to give python 2.7.1 include path.

next i faced some problem with libpcap and to solve this i installed latest libpcap.

now Radius server is successfully running.
