How to install vpnc? (Puppy 4.3)

#1 Post by DaDrivel »

Hi everyone,

I recently tried to install the vpnc client from the sourcecode (http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/%7Emassar/vpnc/) on my Puppy 4.3 Cielo (hard installation).
First of all I installed the dev_xxx.sfs for the gcc. After that, the installation aborted with an error, that libgcrypt and libgpg-error libraries are missing, so I installed them (from sourcecode). Still, after that, the installation aborted with the error

Code: Select all

error while loading shared libraries: ligcrypt.so.11 cannot open shared object
After a small research, I found this thread here . So i copied these files into my /usr/lib and retried the installation.
Again.. aborted with

Code: Select all

./makeman.pl
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = (unset),
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LANG = "de_DE.utf8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
sed -e 's,@''PREFIX''@,/usr/local,g' vpnc-script.in > vpnc-script && chmod 755 vpnc-script
I cant understand what the problem is here.
Maybe you have an idea or already got the vpnc (or other vpnc clients) working on Puppy.

I hope, you can help me,

Cheers,

Nobody's got an idea?
Or did I ask my question too ambiguous?
Maybe anyone already installed another IPSec vpn client (but... is there another one than vpnc or Cisco...?)

I hope you can help me,

Greetings,

Those error messages don't look serious.
Just go ahead and do -

Code: Select all

make install

Thanks for your replies.
Im sorry for my late response, but i had issues, getting my WLAN card working on Lupu 5.1/2 now... I had those b43, ssb issues with my Puppy 4.3 before and solved them with installing the kernel module wl and blacklisting the ssb module.
My problem now is, that this wl module just exists for Puppy 4.3. Can I also use it for 5.1/2 or are there other compilations of that module for 5.1/2. Or is it enough to blacklist ssb, cause I think I once heard, the wl module is automatically installed on Lupu.

I know this is a bit of offtopic here, but your solutions refer to 5.1/2, so I tried to install Lupu; without succeeding in configuring my WLAN correcty, so far.

I hope you can help me again
Thanks,

DaDrivel

P.S: make install also fails.

Thanks for your answer again :)

I used the wl driver, provided by piratesmack, which only worked on Lupu 5.1, not on 5.2 for me. Well, maybe it was my fault, Im not sure, but Im also happy with 5.1 :)
After that, I installed your vpcn.pet which worked fine without any problems :)

Thank you very much for helping!

Your,

DaDrivel
