No issues installing VPN Client Version 4.8.02 on 2.6.24-19-generic, after installing ‘build-essential’ and ‘linux-headers-generic’. No patches required.

This will not install from a directory with spaces in it (ie, /home/user/my installers/vpnclient”). You have to move it somewhere without spaces. Lame, but that’s a fix.

It works with vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9 on Ubuntu 8.04.
For user natraj : your version of vpnclient is 4.8.00, you should try with version 4.8.01

My problem is because I am using 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04 hardy. Please refer to the webpage as follow:

I successfully installed VPNclient before. When I reinstalled Ubuntu8.04, I failed to install it because this time I used a different sources.list. It seems to me that “linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic” depending on the system is different from that I used before, such that I failed and got:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic’
scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in “/home/patrick/software/vpnclient/Makefileâ€. Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop.
Here I used a repository:
===========================================================
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
==> This command will add the Medibuntu repository to the package manager.
Now update package index (package list):
sudo apt-get update
A GPG-error on the Medibuntu’s repository will be reported. Do not worry, next command will fix it.
Medibuntu’s packages are signed with a private GPG security key. Add its public key part to the package system.
Run:
sudo apt-get -y –force-yes install medibuntu-keyring
Upgrade the system (if there are updates available):
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
============================================================
I believe when I didn’t use the medibuntu repository before I reinstalled Ubuntu8.04, I successfully installed vpnclient.
Any thoughts?

It looks like i’ve found one problem. I got the same error as above.
I had the thing in a folder called /root/Software Bla/vpnclient/
when I changed it to /root/swbla/vpnclient/ so without the spaces I worked OK!!!
Hopefully it will work for other as well.

I can’t get this working with kernel 2.6.24-19. linux-source and linux-generic-headers are installed via apt. Whether I point the install script at /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic or -modules, I get the following:
Making module
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic SUBDIRS=/home/dennis/scratch/vpnclient modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic’
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules’. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic’
make: *** [default] Error 2
Failed to make module “cisco_ipsec.ko”.
Any help for the n00b?

@Capo: everytime you install a new kernal image you have to re-install the vpn client just tipying: sudo ./vpn_install in the same dir you have installed it before.

[…] Ubuntu to 8.04, I received kernel 2.6.24-16 and then the VPN client broke as well. I had to apply a patch, which didn’t work: it couldn’t apply all changes. I then manually fixed the code to […]
