Hi All ,

Any one using Cisco VPN Client [vpnclient-linux-4.6.00.0045-k9.tar.gz]
on CentOS 5 [2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686]

The client installation is giving error for making module "cisco_ipsec.ko".

Can any one help me out to resolve this :



The whole stack trace of the installation after the extraction of the
tar is as shown:

[root@XBox
vpnclient]# ./vpn_install

Okay it's stupid question time, since we don't have any additional information.

What's the output of uname -a, and do you have the corresponding
kernel-devel package installed, which matches your running kernel?

I think that issue is fixed with the 4.8 cisco vpn client. Check out

going to C$ VPN Client version 4.8.01.0640 should compile.

Try vpnc, for me it works a lot better than the Cisco vpn client
which while I got it to compile fine, when I connect it spits out
a generic, useless error and refuses to connect to the remote site.

http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/

I've been using it several times a week for about 6 months now under
Ubuntu. It uses a generic tunneling(tun I believe) driver included
in the kernel. Only issue I have had is sometimes it doesn't want
to work over my sprint wireless broadband(I think the latency is
too high for it), typically after retrying a couple times it works.
Over my 1Mbit DSL at home it's rock solid stable. There's even a
GUI component for the Gnome network manager if you prefer(I use the
CLI since I don't use Gnome).

I don't see a package for CentOS in the default v5 distribution, but
there may be an RPM out there that is compatible some place, if
you don't want to compile it.
