Ok. Personally, I've never had to compile anything (that's one of the reasons I use suse -- almost everything imaginable is available already). Now, I'd like to use the Cisco vpn client to work from home on my employer's systems. Cisco has a linux version, which I have to compile.
Unfortunately, making an RPM for that is useless. For some stupid reason, the VPN client is tied into the kernel version. So, every time the kernel is updated the VPN client is borked and you have to reinstall.
BTW: Another option would be to use vpnc, which is nicely integrated into the Network Manager and also has the standalone GUI kvpnc. For me this works nicely to connect to the university Cisco VPN.
I wish I could use that - nice GUI. Unfortunately, I've yet to be able to connect either to my current or previous employers' networks using it. In both cases, the VPN uses a SecureID card that changes the password every 60 seconds and is tied into my login. For some reason, the vpnc and kvpnc clients won't connect using the pcf file and the SecureID token.
