It's complaining that it can't find radiusclient dictionary files. Check
radiusclient.conf (probably at /etc/radiusclient)
For the line "dictionary". It should be pointing out to a directory
where you dictionary files should be. In my case, it looks like that:

dictionary      /etc/radiusclient/dictionary

Make sure the directory exists and contains dictionary files. I'll
attach a dictionary file specific for l2tp/ipsec with MS Windows. Copy
it to tour dictionary directory and include this line in the dictionary
file inside this directory:

INCLUDE /path/to/dictionary/dictionary.microsoft

I remember loosing a LOT of time because of this.

Let me know if you need further help.
