Cisco VPNClient on Mandrake 9.0
 

Hello

I am trying to get the Cisco VPNClient version 3.7 to work on Mandrake 9.0. This is my first venture into Linux, so please excuse me if this is exceedingly simple.

I think I got the software to compile and install OK, but when I try to start it, I get the following response:

Failed (insmod)

---------------------------------------------------

I have absolutely no idea what any of this means. The only possibility I can think of is that because I had to run "make xconfig" to get a copy of autoconf.h, I have built that incorrectly.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do next. Do I need to contact Cisco, or is the problem more basic than that?

Thanks.

I discovered the reason this would not work was that I had the wrong kernel source installed. When I removed the wrong stuff and installed the right stuff it worked.

I might even have learned something while investigating this!

So What Did You Do To Solve The problem
 

I have the exact same problem, but, you never mentioned what you did. Can you give us the procedure you used to solve it?

Thanks,

Reinstall the source

I re-installed the kernel source from the Mandrake CD.

Previously I had installed it from kernel.org. Once user the version which came on the Mandrake CDs, everything was OK. I think I may have had to re-compile after I had installed the correct version of the source.
