Hello,

I try to install VPN Client for Linux ver. 4.6.03.0190 on PC with SUSE 9.2, but I receive this message:

Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.6.03 (0190) Linux Installer

By installing this product you agree that you have read the

license.txt file (The VPN Client license) and will comply with

its terms.

Directory where binaries will be installed [/usr/local/bin]

Automatically start the VPN service at boot time [yes]

In order to build the VPN kernel module, you must have the

kernel headers for the version of the kernel you are running.

Directory containing linux kernel source code [/lib/modules/2.6.8-24-default/build]

* Binaries will be installed in "/usr/local/bin".

* Modules will be installed in "/lib/modules/2.6.8-24-default/CiscoVPN".

* The VPN service will be started AUTOMATICALLY at boot time.

* Kernel source from "/lib/modules/2.6.8-24-default/build" will be used to build the module.

Is the above correct [y]

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24-obj/i386/default'

make: *** [default] Error 2

I tried to find some advice on Cisco WWW, but I find nothing. Could please someone tell me what is wrong and what to do? Thanks in advanced.

Oops, I resolved it myself... Source code of kernel was not installed...

Hello...I've run into the exact same problem myself. However, I'm so new at using Suse 9.3 that I can't figure out the solution. Can you provide a little more info on your solution? TIA for any advice/help.

Have you tried to install GCC?

Look in yast, software management and search for gcc.
