[tac_plus] error while loading shared libraries: libtacacs.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Alan McKinnon]

I think you are going about this in the wrong way, I notice several
unusual aspects of your posted output.

Why are you installing into /opt? Upstream source default is
--prefix=/usr/local which is the norm for autotools. Installs into /opt
tend to be problematic as one often needs to manually adjust library
search paths. This does not occur when using /usr/local/lib

You don't have a pkg-config the package can use.

What are those references to dpkg? Redhat is rpm based, are you trying
to extract and build sources from a Debian package? Debian probably
tweak and adjust sources to suit their layout which might not suit RedHat

40.0.427a is alpha software and may have bugs. 4.0.4.26 is latest
current and works well.

I recommend you follow the normal pattern, this workflow works correctly
for more across many different platforms and distros:

wget ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/tac_plus/tacacs+-F4.0.4.26.tar.gz
tar xvzf tacacs+-F4.0.4.26.tar.gz
cd tacacs+-F4.0.4.26
./configure --help=short
./configure <your own options here>
make
sudo make install
