if you use opensuse 10.3 with kernel 2.6.22 and have error like this:
"#./vpn_install
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.
include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory"

then, install kernel-source and do:
#make oldconfig && make prepare

next step:
download from cisco.com vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz
(exactly this version) and do:

tar zxf vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz -C /tmp/
cd /tmp/vpnclient
./vpn_install

start VPN service:
/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start

should work. I've core 2 duo PC with SMP kernel and no problem

Yeah, that's pretty standard. You'd be hard-pressed to find a single-core
system these days.

Peter - what version of the Cisco VPN client are you trying?

Sorry it took so long to get back ... I didn't notice the reply.

Anyway, I don't know what the version was, I'll have to look again ...
it has been more than 8 months or so since I last tried. I do know
that it was the latest version of the client available, at the time.

But, I have to say I talked with TAC (Cisco tech support) and they
confirmed that the client does not officially support an smp kernel.

I'll take a stab at it again .. it's very frustrating to not have it.
