Installing Freeradius-LDAP 3.x from PPA - Repository

Question

Initially I've installed Freeradius from stable branch as follows:

apt-get install python-software-properties
apt-add-repository ppa:freeradius/stable-3.0
apt-get update
apt-get install freeradius make

And I thought, that all modules were also installed; but now, when I need to get Freeradius be authenticated against LDAP-Directory, and I'm trying to reconfigure Freeradius and when I run it in Debugging mode (-X) I see the following error:

/etc/freeradius/mods-enabled/ldap: Failed to link to module 'rlm_ldap' : /user/lib/freeradius/rlm_ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That's why I believe, that LDAP-Module for Freeradius was not be installed.

How could I make it from PPA:repository from the same branch, in order to not damage Freeradius and get them both (with LDAP-module) working.

Ubuntu Server 16.04.1TLS, Freeradius 3.11

Update1:

$dpkg -l | grep freeradius 

freeradius        3.0.11-ppa3~xenial
freeradius-common 3.0.11-ppa3~xenial
freeradius-config 3.0.11-ppa3~xenial
freeradius-utils  3.0.11-ppa3~xenial
libfreeradius3    3.0.11-ppa3~xenial

Please add to the question the output of `dpkg -l | grep freeradius` — Rui F Ribeiro, Nov 02 '16 at 21:22

To have support for LDAP in FreeRadius, please install the corresponding package with the command:

sudo apt-get install freeradius-ldap

Also relating to your doubts about mixed versions, to check up the version installed, do:

dpkg -l | grep freeradius

and/or:

dpkg -l freeradius-ldap

From the source it must be version 2 installed, but v.3 is not compatible with v.2 – user3467471 Nov 02 '16 at 21:16
@user3467471 Add it also to dpkg -l output. From what we see till now, all are version 3. – Rui F Ribeiro Nov 02 '16 at 21:34
@RuiFRibeiro Sorry, what do you mean? I have v.3 of Freeradius installed and would also get the same version of Ldap-modul for it. Or you've meant something others? – user3467471 Nov 02 '16 at 21:47

@user3467471 Add the output of `dpkg -l | grep freeradius` too, *after* doing the command advised by Arran. – Rui F Ribeiro Nov 02 '16 at 21:48
yes, it was the right hint by Arran, it was installed from the right place. ie. v 3.0.11 Thank you both! – user3467471 Nov 02 '16 at 22:00
