Cisco VPN client is asking me for “Directory containing linux kernel source code” during the installation process. I have no idea what directory it is or how to find out. Please can anyone help?
Thanks!
How do I find out what directory contains the linux kernel source code? What's the default for 13.1?
I think the sources are in /usr/src/linux-3.16.6-2

If the sources are installed, the path is /usr/src/linux
It’s a symlink to the directory containing the sources for the currently running kernel.

For kernel 3.16.6-2 that is correct.
But there should be a symlink /usr/src/linux that points to the latest one.
Oh, and you have to install the kernel sources of course. The package is called “kernel-source”.
Although kernel-devel and kernel-desktop-devel (if you’re using kernel-desktop) should be sufficient as well for compiling kernel modules. (I don’t know what the Cisco client needs it for)
When I last installed a Cisco VPN client (several years ago), it asked for this directory but told me its guess (which was correct). I did have kernel sources installed.
I think you need to install kernel sources, or at least kernel-devel.
