Hello, I am currently having problems with trying to install a cicso vpn software provided by my university. I am currently using fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35.10-74 64bit. Wasn't sure if it was needed but there it is. I download provided tar.gz, unziped and extracted into a folder. From there the instruction follow.
- Type: ./driver_build
- Type: ./vpn_install. Accept all the prompts encountered during this process
- Type: /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start.
NOTE: You will not have to type this again because the script automatically executes this
command every time the system restarts.
- Type: cd /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles
Problems I am getting involve the ./driver_build command to which I get
<bash: ./driver_build: No such file or directory>
There is a file called driver_build.sh in the working directory, maybe it should be .sh? I am not sure. If using driver_build.sh I get
./driver_build.sh
Cisco Systems VPN Client Version BUILDVER_STRING
Copyright (C) 1998-2001 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
usage:
./driver_build.sh 'kernel_src_dir'
'kernel_src_dir' is the directory containing the linux kernel sour
ce
I then tried the following command ( not expecting it to work ) and answered a few questions one pertaining to the location of my linux headers:
In order to build the VPN kernel module, you must have the
kernel headers for the version of the kernel you are running.
For RedHat 6.x users these files are installed in /usr/src/linux by default
For RedHat 7.x users these files are installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4 by default
For Suse 7.3 users these files are installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4.10.SuSE by default
Directory containing linux kernel source code[]
To which I do not know what to do, I did download the headers but I am not sure to where they unpacked. So I obviously have a lot of problems and don't ask on forums but I am lost. So I am sorry if this was formatted in a terrible manner, it has been a few years since I have messed with linux so I have forgotten most of the basic commands. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ( I am root in terminal using su )

Hi sonokingbob, Welcome to LQ. Have you tried installing openconnect? I believe that is included on the install media or at least it's in the repositories. I suggest this as it may be a simpler task to get you connected while you refresh your skills.
