I compiled Merit and actually got it to work last year on a non-Debian system. It involved a bit of study and doing things manually. I started at an ISP that had a Cisco 2516 router and tacacs+ on NT. I switched to 2 Linux systems on an isolated (coax) ethernet. I was able to get client and server working together this way. I had to use netwatch on each end just to get the basic communication going.
I seem to remember wanting to switch to Livingston for some reason, but the project ended because the 'sysadmin' for the ISP would only work with NT and he was very affordable. He wouldn't configure the Cisco to set up a dialup test port. Unless things have improved a lot, you really need to unpack the source to get an idea of what radius needs/wants. I remember having the dictionary messages. Was it a line in passwd/groups and ownership? I wish I remembered exactly.
