Installing Cisco VPN client 4.8

I am needing to install the Cisco VPN client that I got from my University so that I can VPN into their network. However, when compiling, I get a linux/config.h not found error. I googled around and found that config.h. I tried to create a symlink from config.h to autoconf.h, but it did not work. I created an empty config.h with the touch command and that did not work either. What can I do to get it to compile?

Thanks.

I'm going to recommend my own page on vpnc. The page is aimed mostly at RH based distributions, but the instructions are pretty generic.

It should work with almost all Cisco VPNs.

I have tried Cisco's VPN client, but it was pretty bad--it had trouble with SMP machines, 64 bit machines, and so on. One assumes it's improved since then, but VPNC is, IMHO, as easy to use.
