Re: Kernel Make system and linking static libraries on kernel versions2.6.14+

This software is from a company called 'Apani Networks' and they are
slow to update their code to reflect kernel changes.  I too am stuck
with Nortal VPN boxes at work and it's a pain to get them working.
What's worse, is their NetLock software is also a pain to get working
as well...

Try dropping back to the latest kernel they have supported in their
library and compile that.  I was certainly able to make it compile
against 2.6.12 as I recall... but since I was running 2.6.13+ at the
time, it didn't do me much good...

Again, double check the README that came with the software and try to
do all the compile work by hand, and not using their canned solutions
for Redhat, etc.  I was able to get it to compile, but never managed
to get it working on my main home machine unfortunately.  

Can you post the log of all the steps you took to compile the code,
the kernel version you're using, and any output of the make commands?
That would help.
