Its usual that the vpnclient while installing for the first time on Linux, it gives few error messages reporting to the missing library files, header files. Here is the procedure of fixing them.
VPNClient requires kernel header files while getting installed. So, we need to download the patch and patch it with the old source code. Below are the few steps you need to follow to successfully install vpnclient on your linux machine.
Ubuntu supposed to be my option here.

sudo sed -i 's/const\ struct\ net_device_ops\ \*netdev_ops;/struct\ net_device_ops\ \*netdev_ops;/' `find /usr/src -name netdevice.h`
Starting Cisco VPN Client

Just include only the filename with no extension in the previous step.
