vpnc install problem?

[bad_gui]

Hi,

Maybe I'm missing something here?

I downloaded the vpnc package from http://www.usit.uio.no/it/hjemmekontor/english/vpn/linuxvpnc.html and
I untarred it.

I ran make with no errors.

Then I use

root:# checkinstall -L --fstrans=no

 Done. The new package has been saved to

 /home/progs/vpnc-0.5.3/vpnc-0.5.3-i386-1.tlz
 You can install it in your system anytime using:

      installpkg vpnc-0.5.3-i386-1.tlz

**********************************************************************

Why do I get the error "package will not be installed?"  Some files are written to the system

:$ ls /usr/local/sbin/vpnc*
/usr/local/sbin/vpnc*  /usr/local/sbin/vpnc-disconnect*


but not others such as the man pages.  In fact the directories are completely empty!

/usr/local/share/man/man1/

What am I doing wrong?

[bad_gui]

 

It has been a while since I have installed something and I forgot to follow the instructions
that were right in front of me

You can install it in your system anytime using:

installpkg vpnc-0.5.3-i386-1.tlz

It seems that vector has the man pages located in /usr/man/man1 while this install
script is trying to write to /usr/local/share/man/man1 and the man application isn't
looking in the second location even though the files are there:

# ls /usr/local/share/man/man1         
cisco-decrypt.1.gz  pcf2vpnc.1.gz

# man pcf2vpnc
No manual entry for pcf2vpnc

I guess I can just copy the files from /usr/local/share/man/ to /usr/man/man1

Now I need to figure out the vpnc error when I try to connect

Enter password for XXXX@XX.X.XX.XX:

which: no ip in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/opt/Adobe/Reader8/bin/:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/opt/seamonkey/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin)

VL5.9 doesn't contain an executable for "ip" which other distros appear to have:

http://linux.die.net/man/8/ip

According to this man page:

History

ip was written by Alexey N. Kuznetsov and added in Linux 2.2.

Anyone know which VL, Slackware etc. package contains this?

The commands "ifconfig" and "route" do the same things...
