Error during installation of a cisco vpn client

Thanks Pete, that solved my question.

Hi I get the same error. I have the updated headers.

* Binaries will be installed in "/usr/local/bin".
* Modules will be installed in "/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/CiscoVPN".
* The VPN service will be started AUTOMATICALLY at boot time.
* Kernel source from "/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build" will be used to build the module.

Is the above correct [y]

Looking at your log you have exactly the same error, can you please verify you are running kernel 2.6.22-14-generic? Type the following command,

uname -a

and give the output here. As far as I can tell though, you just do not have the headers installed, check with the following command

sudo dpkg -l linux-headers*

uname -a

Linux sasaki-laptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

sudo dpkg -l linux-headers*

It looks like you have two options, patching the version you have so it will build on newer kernels, read this page:

http://tuxx-home.at/archives/2007/05/29/T16_34_26/

Alternatively, you could use a newer version, which should successfully compile without modification. I am not sure where you obtain the Cisco vpn client, so I am unable to help with that, sorry.

Wow, thank you for that attachment from tuxx-home. That seems to be the only fix currently available.

Cheers. :)

Hello
I'm having exactly the same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 (both Beta 2 and Release Candidate). I've been using Ubuntu and CISCO VPN Client for almost two yeas and I've never had this problem with the previous releases.

Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!

I had to patch the file so it would compile on the kernel. Every time I updated the kernel I had to recompile. I just installed a vbox and ran windows xp with the windows client.

This solved my problem: http://www.lamnk.com/blog/vpn/how-to-install-cisco-vpn-client-on-ubuntu-jaunty-jackalope-and-karmic-koala-64-bit/. It also works for Lucid RC (10.04)
