Alright, then there must be your problem. Here is what Cisco says:
"
Linux Distributions
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Deskto
-Ubuntu 9.x and 10.x
We do not validate other Linux distributions. We will consider requests to validate other Linux distributions for which you experience issues, and provide fixes at our discretion.

Hi @victorbrca
Make sure you have privilege to the script:
chmod +x anyconnect-linux64-4.4.01054-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.sh
Then run again.
If necessary, run the command:
mkdir /etc/rc.d/vpnagentd

mkdir is used to create a new directory. The error is because the system doesn't use Sysv scripts.

For more then once I ran on the situation where for some unknown reason the installation script failed to create a directory, even though I gave it privilege.
if you already have the following directory, then, is not necessary create but if you have not, then, doesn't hurt create it and test.
"install: cannot create regular file '/etc/rc.d/vpnagentd': No such file or directory"

This is different thou. My system no longer supports sysv scripts. Adding a script in /etc/rc.d won't make any difference.
And fyi you don't have to set the execute bit on a script if you call bash (or another interpreter) before (like 'bash my_script.sh' or 'python my_script.py').

Thanks. I'm going to ask my network team to open a ticket with them.
Cheers.
