I was trying to make a linux server become a radius client. So I downloaded pam_radius. By following the steps from this website : openacs.org/doc/install-pam-radius.html and by following these steps : 

cd /usr/local/src
wget ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/radius/pam_radius-1.3.16.tar
tar xvf pam_radius-1.3.16
cd pam_radius
make
cp pam_radius_auth.so /lib/security

I thought I could install it but I got stuck at "make" I get this error message:

[root@zabbix pam_radius-1.4.0]# make
cc -Wall -fPIC -c src/pam_radius_auth.c -o pam_radius_auth.o
make: cc: Command not found
make: *** [pam_radius_auth.o] Error 127

I googled this error message and someone said they installed pam-devel. But I get the same message even after installation of pam-devel. What can I do?

You need to install the Development Tools :

sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Your error message is:

make: cc: Command not found

which tells you that you are missing the C compiler. As @GAD3R suggests, installing the Development Tools group will correct this. You probably also need the pam-devel package.

But, that said: there's really no reason to build pam_radius yourself, as it already exists in EPEL ("Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux"). Find instructions for configuring it here, and then just sudo yum install pam_radius.

  • After I did an update and also installed Development Tools I got this error: [root@zabbix ~]# sudo yum install pam_radius Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Setting up Install Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.wbs.co.za * extras: mirror.wbs.co.za * updates: mirror.wbs.co.za No package pam_radius available.

  • After reading a bit more i understand that if I did the make on the pam folder pam_auth.so would have been generated. However it is still not and I since upgrade/update I cannot find that file to move it into the /lib/security folder : ls /etc/pam.d/ chfn config-util cvs ksu newrole passwd remote runuser smartcard-auth smtp.postfix ssh-keycat sudo su-l chsh crond fingerprint-auth login other password-auth run_init runuser-l smtp sshd su sudo-i system-auth – BeachSamurai Jun 06 '16 at 11:48

    On your first comment: you have not enabled EPEL – mattdm Jun 06 '16 at 12:00
