Installation of VPN client software version 3.3 on RH Ent Linux WS 3 (2.4.21-37.EL) failed. Has anyone successfully get this verison of software to work? There's no compilation error but failed during installation (see below).

Here's the screen captured during src-rpm rebuild and during rpm installation.

What am I missing ?

SuSE 10 install and fully functional Apani vpn client

Got this from scorp123 from linux forums dot org

I was able to get everything working with the firewall turned on during compile, the default kernel settings and all the latest patches from SuSE.

cd to where you unzipped/tarred the apani client.

Edit this file: src/k2.6/linux_wrapper.c ... e.g. kate src/k2.6/linux_wrapper.c

1.) Go to line 527 and add two slashes on the beginning: // (you are commenting out that line so it does not get compiled any more)

2.) Go to line 174: insert the code lines below before the function definition register_nl_netfilter

int nl_nf_register_hook(struct nf_hook_ops *reg);
int mishim_init();
int mishim_uninit();


3.) run "make all" and "make install"

4.) Go to /etc/init.d ... check the symbolic links in /etc/init.d/rc3.d and /etc/init.d/rc5.d ... They are probably named "S50netlock" and "K10netlock". Check if they are indeed pointing to the correct file /etc/init.d/netlock ... For some odd reasons the netlock script wants to install itself into a bogus location such as /etc/rc.d/init.d (where that last "init.d" sometimes is a symbolic link: init.d --> . ... sometimes it's a subdirectory, depending on the version). In any case you should correct that to make sure the script gets properly executed upon system boot and runlevel changes.

5.) Reboot your machine. While booting, press Esc if necessary so you can see the boot messages. Check if the VPN client gets correctly started.
