IPSec Tools in Centos 6

Post by estebanvt » 2011/08/31 04:30:32

Hi !
I don't know how to install IPSec Tools in Centos 6. I found only a RPM for Centos 5.6 but unfortunely it doesn`t work in Centos 6. I need this tools for configuring a VPN in my server.

Thank you guys !

Esteban

It doesn't help that the version you can download from sourceforge doesn't even compile on CentOS 6


If anybody finds an rpm for this, it'd be really quite useful

Hello...

Go to http://dowload.fedoraproject.org (you will be redirected to a mirror), enter releases/15/everything/source directory. Download ipsec-tools-0.8.0-1.fc15.src.rpm package, it is the latest version.

Run rpm -ivh ipsec-tools-0.8.0-1.fc15.src.rpm
go to rpmbuild/SPEC directory
edit the ipsec-tools.spec file and remove flex-static from the line 32 (flex alone is enough for build)
run rpmbuild -ba ipsec-tools.spec and wait for it to compile
go to rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 (or i386 dir - depends on architecture) and run:

yum install ipsec-tools-0.8.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm --nogpgcheck

that should do it ... please report if it works for you...

hope ipsec-tools gets to epel repo ....

S.

Well, the thread hijacker is satisfied :-P but we haven't heard back from the OP. In any case, welcome to new members, and please see the recommended reading linked in my signature. Also of interest may be [url=http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM]How to Rebuild a Source RPM[/url].

As the OP got more help in a [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=33025&forum=56]duplicate post[/url] additional answers should be directed there. This thread is now locked.
