If someone gets the following error,
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libgnutls-dev
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

then, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libgnutls-dev

and then follow the steps - this will clear the issue.

tail: „debian/changelog“ kann nicht zum Lesen geöffnet werden: No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: Fehlschlag: Ende von debian/changelog gab Fehler-Exitstatus 1

Very helpful, thanks,

I had to add this to my default.conf

try /usr/local/sbin/vpnc instead of /usr/sbin/vpnc.

hmm…? karlo, have you completed step2 successfully? Type in:
$ sudo vpnc –version
The result should contain:
[...]
Supported DH-Groups: nopfs dh1 dh2 dh5
Supported Hash-Methods: md5 sha1
Supported Encryptions: null des 3des aes128 aes192 aes256
Supported Auth-Methods: psk psk+xauth hybrid(rsa)

For me the above described installation works fine.

karlo@karlo-laptop:~/zooi/tmp_dir/vpnc-0.5.1r275$ vpnc
vpnc was built without openssl: Can’t do hybrid or cert mode.

I can’t seem to get this to work… Someone help please? Ubuntu 8.04
