For some reason can’t install Cisco VPN client on SuSE 11. I have found that Cisco VPNcli does not support multiprocessor and 64bit Linux! Is that true?
Anyway… Here goes error from shell
P.S.
I have edited and changed Makefile. CFLAGS was changed in “/usr/src/vpnclient/Makefile” to use EXTRA_CFLAGS.

4.8.01 requires patching to compile.
I believe 4.8.02 will work just fine though. I suggest
you get that one. If not, you can do some googling to
find the patches to make 4.8.01 go (at my office I
distribute the patched 4.8.01 version… well… up
until the point that 4.8.02 was made available).
Have you tried vpnc? Cisco compatible + there is a networkmanager part for it to

Patched, but I’m still gettin’ an error…
My kernel is 2.6.25.x, but on link you gave me it says “UPDATE: with 2.6.25 kernel this patch is still required (luckily)”…

Ditto. I agree. If vpnc works with your Cisco setup, use it.
Cisco is pretty clueless about writing kernel drivers for Linux.
Also, if your boss says it’s the only way to avoid split
tunneling… I can show you can do it using Cisco’s proprietary
driver as well.

I will guarantee you that eventually your system will hang if
you use the Cisco VPN client… it’s really that bad.
You might be able to use it for hours on end… even days… then
one day… crash!
