Cisco VPN Client on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit

June 3, 2008 Posted by mitch | cisco, ubuntu | 0 Comments

Last night i decided that running the server kernel for the PAE mods isn't really a good fix on my new ThinkPad T61, so I installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu. I had a few issues with getting the Cisco VPN client installed but found these instructions to help.
1. Untar the VPN Client # tar xzf vpnclient-linux-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz 2. Download the patch #1 # wget -q http://projects.tuxx-home.at/ciscovpn/patches/vpnclient-linux-2.6.24-final.diff 3. Download the patch #2 # wget -q http://projects.tuxx-home.at/ciscovpn/patches/cisco_skbuff_offset.patch 4. Change to the vpnclient diretory # cd vpnclient 5. Apply the patch #1 # patch <../vpnclient-linux-2.6.24-final.diff patching file GenDefs.h patching file interceptor.c 6. Apply the patch #2 # patch <../cisco_skbuff_offset.patch patching file frag.c patching file interceptor.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 646 (offset 16 lines). Hunk #2 succeeded at 685 (offset 16 lines). Hunk #3 succeeded at 807 (offset 16 lines). patching file linuxcniapi.c patching file linuxkernelapi.c 7. Open your "Makefile" and rename the CFLAGS line to EXTRA_CFLAGS 8. Now the patches have been applied and you can safely install the client #./vpn_install
