    Cisco VPN Client 4.8.00.490 install

    I am trying to install the above on Linux SuSE 10 and I get the following:

    2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

    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/2.6.16.21-0.8-default/build]
    * Binaries will be installed in "/usr/local/bin".
    * Modules will be installed in "/lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.8-default/CiscoVPN".
    * The VPN service will be started AUTOMATICALLY at boot time.
    * Kernel source from "/lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.8-default/build" will be used to build the module.

    Is the above correct [y]
    Making module
    make -C /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.8-default/build SUBDIRS=/root/vpnclient modules
    make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.8-obj/i386/default'
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.8-obj/i386/default'
    make: *** [default] Error 2
    Failed to make module "cisco_ipsec.ko".

    Any ideas as to what is wrong? I have seen similiar requests but no answers. Any help?

    Ah There's the rub. I do not believe I have. All that is in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.8-obj/i386/default directory is modules.symvers. I would now have to ask "How do I install the kernal source?" as I assume it will contain .h and .c files.

    OK I have installed the source. (Rather simple I might add. Ticks me off for not finding it earlier.) but now I get an error concerning the "gcc" command. It is not there. What would be the SuSE 10 equivalency of that command?

    Install the gcc package using suse's package manager.

    As anomie said install gcc

    Suse does not install the kernel or gcc by default.
